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 ›The read
By the composite measure, Canyon Lake, Texas (ZIP 78133) sits in the top 43% healthiest ZIPs nationally (13,695th) and the top 23% of Texas (430th).
Where the data leans one way, another reading answers it: modeled arsenic registers in the bottom 1.7% nationally, fiber broadband lands in the top 11.9% nationally, and modeled energy burden resides in the bottom 12.6% nationally. Modeled radon lies in the bottom 11.5% nationally. On the other hand, modeled extreme heat settles in the top 4.9% nationally, and humid heat stands in the top 6.7% nationally. Floodplain exposure is in the top 14.9% nationally, and modeled expected annual loss rests in the top 15% nationally. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility sits at the national minimum, shared with about 31% of ZIPs. PFOS in drinking water registers in the top 18% nationally.
Compared with the ZIPs that surround it, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In plain language, arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. Radon is a radioactive soil gas the EPA identifies as the top cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. ZIP 78070, just across the boundary, ranks 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.
