Dry extreme heat

Lower is healthier
ST87thUS98thDefinition & source ›
The average number of days per year with a modeled daily high of at least 95 °F.

Lower is healthier
ST3rdUS3rdDefinition & 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 ›Humid extreme heat
152.1 days/year
in the top 4.2% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST76thUS96thDefinition & 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 ›Uninsured (under 65)
18.4%
in the top 6.0% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST61stUS94thDefinition & source ›
The estimated share of adults aged 18–64 with no current health-insurance coverage.
Full methodology ›Fatal road crashes
38.9 per 100,000 residents per year
in the top 7.4% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST86thUS93rdDefinition & source ›
The annual rate of fatal road crashes per 100,000 residents, pooled over a ten-year window.
A rate per resident population. Where a ZIP has too few residents for the rate to be reliable — about 30% of US ZIPs — no value is published rather than an unstable one; those ZIPs are absent from this comparison, not counted as crash-free.
Full methodology ›Mammography
68.4%

Higher is healthier
ST13thUS9thDefinition & source ›
The estimated share of women aged 50–74 who had a mammogram within the past two years.
Full methodology ›The read
Stockdale, Texas (ZIP 78160), overall, ranks in the bottom 26% nationally (23,638th) and the bottom 40% of Texas (1,115th).
This area's pressures are easy to read across the measures: modeled extreme heat resides in the top 2.0% nationally, humid heat settles in the top 4.2% nationally, and uninsured is in the top 6.0% nationally. Fatal road crashes sits in the top 7.4% nationally, modeled mammography lands in the bottom 8.6% nationally, and poverty lies in the top 13.3% nationally. Modeled loud transportation noise stands in the top 15.0% nationally. On the brighter side, modeled pfas rests in the bottom 3.4% nationally, and radon registers in the bottom 14.8% nationally. Modeled energy burden resides in the bottom 19% nationally.
Defined simply, 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. Radon is a radioactive soil gas the EPA identifies as the top cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers. Extreme heat is a modeled count of days a year reaching a dangerously high temperature, a leading weather hazard. ZIP 78113, just across the boundary, comes out 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

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 1.45 years of 80.8, 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.
