The read

On balance, and by the composite measure, ZIP 77380, one of several in Spring, Texas ranks in the top 13.1% healthiest ZIPs nationally (4,198th) and the top 7.0% of Texas (130th).

continue reading

The measures split the difference for this area: physicians lands in the top 0.8% nationally, and outpatient registers in the top 1.1% nationally. Dental providers sits in the top 1.7% nationally, and recreation rests in the top 2.0% nationally. Pharmacy is in the top 5.0% nationally. Against that, outer-floodplain exposure stands in the top 3.1% nationally, modeled humid heat settles in the top 3.2% nationally, and homeownership lies in the bottom 4.4% nationally. Modeled air-toxics cancer risk resides in the top 4.5% nationally, and expected annual loss lands in the top 5.4% nationally.

Compared with the ZIPs it borders, physicians runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In plainer terms, air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Outer-floodplain exposure is land with a lower but real 1-in-500 chance of flooding each year, nicknamed the "500-year floodplain". For a healthier nearby ZIP overall, look to ZIP 77381, just across the boundary.

Nearby & similar ZIPs

Editorially selected — see how this ZIP compares to nearby and similar places.

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 0.80 years of 80.9, 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. How distance is measured
