Campbellton, Texas (ZIP 78008), by its composite score, sits in the bottom 15% nationally (27,125th) and the bottom 20% of Texas (1,498th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
The data opens on real and measurable burdens: modeled uninsured lies in the top 2.4% nationally, and extreme heat rests in the top 1.1% nationally. Poverty resides in the top 1.1% nationally, and modeled humid heat is in the top 2.5% nationally. Slow internet speeds lands in the top 4.4% nationally, PFAS in drinking water stands at the national maximum, and modeled loud transportation noise registers in the top 5.7% nationally. Modeled diabetes settles in the top 7.0% nationally. More encouragingly, home broadband subscription sits at the national maximum. Unemployment lies at the national minimum, shared with about 15% of ZIPs.
For anyone unfamiliar, PFAS in drinking water is the family of man-made "forever chemicals" that build up in the body and environment instead of breaking down. Extreme heat is a modeled count of days a year reaching a dangerously high temperature, a leading weather hazard. Humid heat is a modeled heat-stress measure combining temperature, humidity, sun, and wind to gauge heat on the body outdoors.

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 1.98 years of 80.2, 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.
