Industrial-pollution burden
in the top 1.7% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST94thUS98thDefinition & 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 ›Humid extreme heat
160.1 days/year
in the top 2.7% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST93rdUS97thDefinition & 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 ›Subsidized affordable housing
424 units
in the top 5.5% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST91stUS95thDefinition & source ›
The number of affordable rental units in this ZIP supported by the federal Low-Income Housing Tax Credit program.
Full methodology ›Expected annual disaster loss

in the top 5.9% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST88thUS94thDefinition & source ›
FEMA’s modeled estimate, in dollars per year, of the average harm to people expected from natural hazards — an annualized average, not a forecast for any single year.
Full methodology ›Dental provider access
1 per 1,000 residents
in the top 6.6% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST93rdUS93rdDefinition & source ›
The number of dental offices located inside this ZIP’s boundary, per 1,000 residents.
Counted from establishments located inside this ZIP’s boundary, so one just across the line is not counted. Where a ZIP has too few residents for the density to be reliable, no value is published rather than an unreliable one.
Full methodology ›Dry extreme heat
60.9 days/year
in the top 7.2% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST34thUS93rdDefinition & source ›
The average number of days per year with a modeled daily high of at least 95 °F.
Full methodology ›Radon
0.7 pCi/L
in the bottom 3.8% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST25thUS4thDefinition & 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 ›Uninsured (under 65)
16.1%
in the top 9.0% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST50thUS91stDefinition & source ›
The estimated share of adults aged 18–64 with no current health-insurance coverage.
Full methodology ›The read
ZIP 77904, one of several in Victoria, Texas ranks in the top 39% healthiest ZIPs nationally (12,474th) and the top 21% of Texas (384th).
A balanced set of signals defines this area, not any single one: subsidized affordable housing registers in the top 5.5% nationally, and dental providers lies in the top 6.6% nationally. Modeled radon is in the bottom 3.8% nationally, and lead in tap water registers in the bottom 11.2% nationally. Outpatient lies in the top 13.2% nationally. By contrast, modeled industrial-pollution burden is in the top 1.7% nationally, humid heat registers in the top 2.7% nationally, and expected annual loss lies in the top 5.9% nationally. Modeled extreme heat is in the top 7.2% nationally, and uninsured registers in the top 9.0% nationally.
Against its neighbors, industrial-pollution burden runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For context, 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. Radon is a radioactive soil gas the EPA identifies as the top cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers. The closest ZIP that ranks healthier overall is ZIP 77968, 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 0.68 years of 80.6, 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.
