Full methodology ›The read
ZIP 77584, one of several in Pearland, Texas, by its overall standing, sits in the top 15% healthiest ZIPs nationally (4,870th) and the top 8.0% of Texas (148th).
The measures fall on both sides of the ledger for this area: modeled hearing disability rests in the bottom 3.2% nationally, modeled coronary heart disease lies in the bottom 3.7% nationally, and subsidized affordable housing sits in the top 6.4% nationally. Set against that, modeled industrial-pollution burden settles in the top 1.5% nationally, expected annual loss registers in the top 2.0% nationally, and air-toxics cancer risk stands in the top 2.2% nationally. Outer-floodplain exposure lands in the top 3.0% nationally, and modeled disaster risk is in the top 3.8% nationally. Modeled humid heat resides in the top 4.1% nationally, and short sleep rests in the top 7.8% nationally.
Held up against its neighbors, industrial-pollution burden runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Defined in plain terms, industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people. The nearest ZIP ranking healthier overall is ZIP 77546, about 1.5 miles away.

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 0.47 years of 80.8, 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.
