Pflugerville, Texas (ZIP 78660), on the composite measure, lands in the top 15% healthiest ZIPs nationally (4,828th) and the top 7.9% of Texas (146th).
The profile cuts both ways, and the readings bear that out: modeled coronary heart disease rests in the bottom 2.5% nationally, subsidized affordable housing sits in the top 3.5% nationally, and modeled hearing disability registers in the bottom 2.6% nationally. Modeled high blood pressure lands in the bottom 3.8% nationally. Distance to an emergency room resides at the national minimum, shared with about 11% of ZIPs. Modeled stroke lies in the bottom 3.5% nationally, and high cholesterol settles in the bottom 5.9% nationally. Working the other way, modeled disaster risk stands in the top 1.7% nationally, and expected annual loss is in the top 1.8% nationally. Modeled extreme heat rests in the top 3.4% nationally.
Set against the neighboring ZIPs, expected annual loss runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In everyday language, disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Extreme heat is a modeled count of days a year reaching a dangerously high temperature, a leading weather hazard. A healthier neighbor overall sits at ZIP 78727, about 0.3 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 0.59 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.
