ZIP 77373, one of several in Spring, Texas, by its overall standing, sits in the top 42% healthiest ZIPs nationally (13,504th) and the top 23% of Texas (422nd).
Both sides of the picture show up plainly in this area's numbers: subsidized affordable housing settles in the top 7.5% nationally, and modeled coronary heart disease registers in the bottom 7.0% nationally. By contrast, modeled expected annual loss stands in the top 2.1% nationally, humid heat lands in the top 2.8% nationally, and industrial-pollution burden is in the top 2.9% nationally. Modeled disaster risk resides in the top 3.5% nationally, and uninsured rests in the top 5.6% nationally. Modeled air-toxics cancer risk lies in the top 4.5% nationally, and outer-floodplain exposure sits in the top 4.6% nationally. Modeled extreme heat settles in the top 9.3% nationally.
Held up against its neighbors, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Defined in plain terms, expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. The nearest ZIP ranking healthier overall is ZIP 77380, just across the boundary.

How these were chosen: only ZIPs with a published Score appear — a nearby ZIP with too little data to score won’t. Nearby means closest by distance between ZIP boundaries, which can cross state lines. A similar health profile is a close match across the nine Score domains, not similar demographics. Distances are measured between ZIP boundaries — ZIPs that touch share a border. How distance is measured

About the ± — it’s this estimate’s give-or-take (statisticians call it the standard error). The true life expectancy for this ZIP most likely falls within 0.64 years of 78.4, and it’s very unlikely to be off by more than twice that.

How these lists were built: they draw only from ZIPs that have a published Score, so ZIPs with too little data to score are not listed. Distance-based lists use distance between ZIP boundaries with no state filter, so an out-of-state ZIP can appear. Statistically similar means a close match across the nine Score domains, not a demographic match: the measure is the cosine similarity between two ZIPs’ domain scores, taken over the domains both ZIPs have data for and only where that overlap covers at least six of the nine — and where no ZIP clears that minimum-overlap floor, that list is left out rather than filled with a weak match.
