The average number of days per year with a modeled daily high of at least 95 °F.

ST70thUS95thDefinition & 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.

Lower is healthier
ST12thUS9thDefinition & source ›
The modeled probability that PFAS “forever chemicals” would be detected in untreated groundwater in this area, the source private wells draw on.
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 ›Radon
0.7 pCi/L
in the bottom 3.6% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST24thUS4thDefinition & 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 ›Median household income

The middle household income in this ZIP — half of households earn more, half earn less — in dollars per year.

Full methodology ›The read
In overall standing, ZIP 77808, one of several in Bryan, Texas comes out in the top 30% healthiest ZIPs nationally (9,733rd) and the top 16% of Texas (290th).
Several readings land clearly in this area's favor and shape the picture: modeled pfas stands in the bottom 8.8% nationally, radon lands in the bottom 3.6% nationally, and arsenic is in the bottom 14.5% nationally. Household income resides in the top 12.0% nationally, and homeownership rests in the top 17% nationally. Set against that, modeled extreme heat lies in the top 4.8% nationally, and humid heat sits in the top 4.9% nationally. Modeled expected annual loss settles in the top 10.8% nationally, and crowded housing registers in the top 12.5% nationally. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility stands at the national minimum, shared with about 31% of ZIPs.
In plain terms, pfas is the man-made "forever chemicals" that build up in the body and environment instead of breaking down; here a modeled estimate of the chance a private well contains them. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Radon is a radioactive soil gas the EPA identifies as the top cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers. The nearest healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 77802, just across the boundary.

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 0.84 years of 80.7, 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.
