Arsenic in groundwater
1.1%
in the bottom 3.4% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST3rdUS3rdDefinition & source ›
The modeled probability that untreated groundwater in this area — the source private wells draw on — exceeds the federal arsenic limit of 10 micrograms per liter.
A modeled likelihood for untreated groundwater, the source drawn on by private wells, which are federally unregulated. It is not a measurement of treated water delivered by a public system, and it is not a test of any individual well.
Full methodology ›Fatal road crashes
49.3 per 100,000 residents per year
in the top 4.1% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST92ndUS96thDefinition & source ›
The annual rate of fatal road crashes per 100,000 residents, pooled over a ten-year window.
A rate per resident population. Where a ZIP has too few residents for the rate to be reliable — about 30% of US ZIPs — no value is published rather than an unstable one; those ZIPs are absent from this comparison, not counted as crash-free.
Full methodology ›Crowded housing
9.1%
in the top 5.4% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST90thUS95thDefinition & source ›
The share of occupied homes with more than one person per room, the Census definition of crowded housing.
Full methodology ›Humid extreme heat
146.2 days/year
in the top 5.7% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST65thUS94thDefinition & source ›
The average number of days per year when modeled heat stress — temperature, humidity, sun, and wind combined — reaches levels hard on the body outdoors.
Full methodology ›Unemployment rate
11.9%
in the top 6.5% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST95thUS94thDefinition & source ›
The share of the civilian labor force that is unemployed.
Full methodology ›Industrial-pollution burden
in the top 7.2% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST86thUS93rdDefinition & source ›
The EPA’s modeled screening score for industrial chemical releases, weighting the amounts released by their toxicity and how many people live nearby — a relative comparison score, not a measured exposure.
Full methodology ›Uninsured (under 65)
17.2%
in the top 7.4% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST55thUS93rdDefinition & source ›
The estimated share of adults aged 18–64 with no current health-insurance coverage.
Full methodology ›Radon
0.6 pCi/L
in the bottom 1.1% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST9thUS1stDefinition & source ›
The modeled typical indoor radon level for this area, in picocuries per liter — the EPA recommends fixing a home at 4 pCi/L or above.
Modeled from indoor-radon measurements. In Alaska and Hawaii, where those measurements are not published, a US Geological Survey geologic radon-potential category stands in — a coarser input, disclosed rather than hidden.
Full methodology ›Dry extreme heat
9.8 days/year
in the top 36% nationally

The average number of days per year with a modeled daily high of at least 95 °F.
Full methodology ›The read
In its overall standing, Winnie, Texas (ZIP 77665) lands in the bottom 28% nationally (23,045th) and the bottom 44% of Texas (1,046th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
This area's measures are easy to read as a mixed set: modeled arsenic stands in the bottom 3.4% nationally. Distance to an emergency room rests at the national minimum, shared with about 11% of ZIPs. Modeled radon registers in the bottom 1.1% nationally. Distance to a community health center resides at the national minimum, shared with about 23% of ZIPs. Set against that, fatal road crashes settles in the top 4.1% nationally, and crowded housing is in the top 5.4% nationally. Modeled humid heat sits in the top 5.7% nationally, and unemployment lands in the top 6.5% nationally. Modeled industrial-pollution burden lies in the top 7.2% nationally, and uninsured stands in the top 7.4% nationally.
Put simply, arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. Industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Radon is a radioactive soil gas the EPA identifies as the top cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers. On the overall standing, ZIP 77560, just across the boundary, ranks healthier.

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 1.48 years of 77.4, 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.
