Full methodology ›The read
Judged by its overall standing, ZIP 78411, one of several in Corpus Christi, Texas sits in the bottom 42% nationally (18,725th) and the top 36% of Texas (672nd).
A few readings account for most of this area's strain: modeled uninsured rests in the top 2.2% nationally, modeled tree cover settles at the national minimum, and PFAS in drinking water lands at the national maximum. Modeled expected annual loss rests in the top 6.8% nationally. On the better side, dental providers settles in the top 1.3% nationally, and physicians lands in the top 2.8% nationally. Transit rests in the top 2.8% nationally, and outpatient settles in the top 3.7% nationally. Distance to an emergency room lands at the national minimum, shared with about 11% of ZIPs. Walkability rests in the top 7.0% nationally.
Placed beside its immediate neighbors, outer-floodplain exposure runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Put plainly, PFAS in drinking water is the family of man-made "forever chemicals" that build up in the body and environment instead of breaking down. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. A healthier nearby ZIP overall is ZIP 78412, just across the boundary.

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 0.65 years of 77.0, 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.
