By the composite health measure, ZIP 77469, one of several in Rosenberg, Texas ranks in the top 20% healthiest ZIPs nationally (6,502nd) and the top 10.4% of Texas (193rd).
A handful of measures stand out most sharply across the profile here: distance to an emergency room is at the national minimum, shared with about 11% of ZIPs. Modeled radon settles in the bottom 1.6% nationally, and coronary heart disease resides in the bottom 7.8% nationally. Modeled hearing disability registers in the bottom 9.0% nationally. On the other side, modeled expected annual loss rests in the top 2.9% nationally, humid heat stands in the top 4.4% nationally, and disaster risk lies in the top 7.4% nationally. Floodplain exposure lands in the top 10.3% nationally, modeled extreme heat sits in the top 10.4% nationally, and modeled uninsured is in the top 9.0% nationally.
Read against the ZIPs closest to it, park land runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. To spell things out, expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Radon is a radioactive soil gas the EPA identifies as the top cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers. Close by, ZIP 77406, 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

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.
