Overall, Votaw, Texas (ZIP 77376) places in the bottom 11.2% nationally (28,503rd) and the bottom 11.8% of Texas (1,649th).
The measures fall on both sides for this area, fairly evenly: modeled pfas lands in the bottom 4.8% nationally, and homeownership stands in the top 6.5% nationally. Floodplain exposure registers in the bottom 6.8% nationally. Households without a vehicle settles at the national minimum, shared with about 16% of ZIPs. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility sits in the top 9.7% nationally. Pulling the other way, modeled mammography lies in the bottom 2.6% nationally, housing-cost burden rests in the top 2.8% nationally, and modeled humid heat resides in the top 3.1% nationally. Distance to an emergency room is in the top 4.6% nationally, and crowded housing lands in the top 8.8% nationally.
For readers new to these terms, pfas is the man-made "forever chemicals" that build up in the body and environment instead of breaking down; here a modeled estimate of the chance a private well contains them. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility is a plant handling large amounts of hazardous chemicals that must file an EPA risk-management plan for accidental releases. Humid heat is a modeled heat-stress measure combining temperature, humidity, sun, and wind to gauge heat on the body outdoors. Among nearby ZIPs, the nearest healthier one overall is ZIP 77327, 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 2.72 years of 80.2, 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.
