Farnsworth, Texas (ZIP 79033), by its overall standing, sits in the bottom 24% nationally (24,359th) and the bottom 36% of Texas (1,194th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
The profile opens on the burdens that define it most: distance to a community health center registers in the top 2.6% nationally, modeled uninsured stands in the top 4.8% nationally, and modeled tree cover lands at the national minimum. Modeled extreme heat is in the top 7.7% nationally. More positively, housing-cost burden resides at the national minimum, and poverty rests at the national minimum. Homeownership lies at the national maximum, and home broadband subscription sits at the national maximum. Modeled expected annual loss settles in the bottom 3.9% nationally. Unemployment registers at the national minimum, shared with about 15% of ZIPs.
Defined in plain terms, expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Distance to a community health center is a federally funded (HRSA) community health center serving everyone regardless of ability to pay. Extreme heat is a modeled count of days a year reaching a dangerously high temperature, a leading weather hazard. The nearest ZIP ranking healthier overall is ZIP 79070, 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 2.39 years of 81.9, 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.
