Full methodology ›The read
On the composite measure, Adrian, Texas (ZIP 79001) stands in the bottom 27% nationally (23,353rd) and the bottom 42% of Texas (1,084th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
Several signals ground this area in the numbers: slow internet speeds rests in the top 2.1% nationally, and distance to a nursing home lands in the top 3.2% nationally. Walkability settles in the bottom 3.6% nationally, and distance to an emergency room rests in the top 4.5% nationally. Modeled nitrate lands in the top 6.6% nationally, distance to a community health center settles in the top 7.6% nationally, and modeled extreme heat rests in the top 10.9% nationally. On the encouraging side, households without a vehicle lands at the national minimum, shared with about 16% of ZIPs. Modeled transportation noise settles in the bottom 9.6% nationally, and industrial-pollution burden rests in the bottom 11.4% nationally.
Set beside the wider area around it, slow internet speeds runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For clarity, nitrate is a groundwater compound from fertilizer, manure, and sewage, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. Industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Distance to a community health center is a federally funded (HRSA) community health center serving everyone regardless of ability to pay. ZIP 79035, just across the boundary, ranks better overall among the ZIPs nearby.

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 0.99 years of 79.0, 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.
