Full methodology ›The read
Stonewall, Texas (ZIP 78671), on the composite measure, lands in the top 48% healthiest ZIPs nationally (15,490th) and the top 27% of Texas (500th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
The readings split fairly evenly between strengths and concerns: modeled industrial-pollution burden lies in the bottom 0.9% nationally. Unemployment settles at the national minimum, shared with about 15% of ZIPs. Households without a vehicle stands at the national minimum, shared with about 16% of ZIPs. Crowded housing is at the national minimum, shared with about 29% of ZIPs. Working the other way, modeled extreme heat rests in the top 6.2% nationally, and distance to a nursing home sits in the top 9.2% nationally. Modeled loud transportation noise registers in the top 10.6% nationally, and uninsured lands in the top 9.2% nationally. Slow internet speeds resides in the top 13.3% nationally, and poverty lies in the top 14.0% nationally.
In everyday language, industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Extreme heat is a modeled count of days a year reaching a dangerously high temperature, a leading weather hazard. 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. A healthier neighbor overall sits at ZIP 78606, 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 1.48 years of 81.0, 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.
