ZIP 77705, one of several in Beaumont, Texas, overall, ranks in the bottom 5.5% nationally (30,311th) and the bottom 4.1% of Texas (1,792nd), based on limited data; treat as directional.
This area's pressures are easy to read across the measures: modeled uninsured lands in the top 2.5% nationally, industrial-pollution burden lies in the top 0.8% nationally, and disaster risk stands in the top 0.8% nationally. Modeled self-care disability rests in the top 3.3% nationally, air-toxics cancer risk registers in the top 1.3% nationally, and vision disability resides in the top 4.3% nationally. Modeled expected annual loss settles in the top 2.1% nationally, and colon screening is in the bottom 3.8% nationally. Modeled fair or poor health sits in the top 4.6% nationally. On the brighter side, modeled arsenic lands in the bottom 2.0% nationally.
Measured against the nearby ZIPs, industrial-pollution burden runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Defined simply, industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people. ZIP 77613, just across the boundary, comes out 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.
