In overall standing, Edmonson, Texas (ZIP 79032) comes out in the bottom 40% nationally (19,356th) and the top 38% of Texas (715th).
The profile opens on the burdens that define it most: modeled uninsured settles in the top 2.8% nationally, modeled tree cover registers at the national minimum, and home broadband subscription stands in the bottom 5.4% nationally. Modeled colon screening lands in the bottom 7.8% nationally, and extreme heat is in the top 8.5% nationally. More positively, fiber broadband resides at the national maximum, and housing-cost burden rests in the bottom 7.1% nationally.

Modeled expected annual loss sits in the bottom 10.4% nationally, and industrial-pollution burden settles in the bottom 11.6% nationally.
In plain terms, expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. 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. The nearest healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 79027, about 16 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 1.58 years of 81.7, 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.
