The share of this ZIP’s land area inside FEMA’s 1%-annual-chance floodplain — the “100-year” flood zone, where flooding has about a 1-in-100 chance in any given year.
Measured from FEMA’s mapped flood panels. Where a panel has not been mapped, no value is published for that ZIP — those ZIPs are absent from this comparison rather than counted as unexposed.

The read
Overall, Normanna, Texas (ZIP 78142) lands in the bottom 36% nationally (20,586th) and the top 42% of Texas (792nd), based on limited data; treat as directional.
A number of measures pull each way for this area: modeled expected annual loss is in the bottom 6.7% nationally, and distance to a Superfund site settles in the top 11.9% nationally. Modeled disaster risk resides in the bottom 12.2% nationally. Set against that, modeled uninsured registers in the top 3.8% nationally, humid heat rests in the top 2.8% nationally, and extreme heat stands in the top 3.0% nationally. Floodplain exposure lies in the top 9.5% nationally. Fiber broadband lands at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Distance to a nursing home sits in the top 17% nationally, and modeled mammography is in the bottom 16% nationally.
A note on the terms: expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. Disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. For a healthier nearby comparison, ZIP 78107, about 5.1 miles away, ranks better 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

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 0.95 years of 78.5, 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.
