Judged by its overall standing, Agua Dulce, Texas (ZIP 78330) sits in the bottom 44% nationally (17,834th) and the top 33% of Texas (620th).
A few readings account for most of this area's strain: modeled uninsured lies in the top 2.4% nationally, loud transportation noise registers in the top 1.1% nationally, and humid heat is in the top 2.0% nationally. Modeled transportation noise lies in the top 2.9% nationally, extreme heat registers in the top 5.2% nationally, and pfas is in the top 7.6% nationally. Unemployment lies in the top 9.7% nationally, and modeled colon screening registers in the bottom 9.1% nationally. On the better side, housing-cost burden is in the bottom 5.6% nationally. Households without a vehicle lies at the national minimum, shared with about 16% of ZIPs.
Placed beside its immediate neighbors, loud transportation noise runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Put plainly, 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. Loud transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to road, rail, and air noise at or above 65 decibels, near conversation volume. Humid heat is a modeled heat-stress measure combining temperature, humidity, sun, and wind to gauge heat on the body outdoors. A healthier nearby ZIP overall is ZIP 78410, about 14 miles away.

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 1.75 years of 81.6, 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.
