Full methodology ›The read
By the composite measure, Lissie, Texas (ZIP 77454) sits in the bottom 40% nationally (19,198th) and the top 38% of Texas (705th).
Where this area is stretched, the data is unambiguous: modeled humid heat stands in the top 3.3% nationally, uninsured is in the top 7.0% nationally, and transportation noise rests in the top 7.5% nationally. Modeled extreme heat sits in the top 7.8% nationally, and arsenic registers in the top 8.2% nationally. Better still, housing-cost burden lands at the national minimum, and poverty resides at the national minimum. Homeownership lies at the national maximum. Unemployment settles at the national minimum, shared with about 15% of ZIPs. Households without a vehicle stands at the national minimum, shared with about 16% of ZIPs.
Compared with the ZIPs that surround it, outer-floodplain exposure runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In plain language, arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. Humid heat is a modeled heat-stress measure combining temperature, humidity, sun, and wind to gauge heat on the body outdoors. Transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to average road, rail, and air noise at or above 55 decibels. ZIP 77434, just across the boundary, ranks healthier overall.

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 1.49 years of 81.4, 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.
