Full methodology ›The read
By the composite health measure, Nazareth, Texas (ZIP 79063) ranks in the bottom 15% nationally (27,227th) and the bottom 19% of Texas (1,518th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
The picture here is genuinely mixed, with readings on both sides: housing-cost burden stands in the bottom 5.4% nationally, and homeownership lies in the top 6.9% nationally. Modeled transportation noise lands in the bottom 7.4% nationally. Households without a vehicle sits at the national minimum, shared with about 16% of ZIPs. Modeled loud transportation noise is at the national minimum, shared with about 22% of ZIPs. On the other side, distance to a community health center settles in the top 7.2% nationally, modeled extreme heat resides in the top 9.6% nationally, and modeled tree cover registers in the bottom 11.0% nationally. Modeled hearing disability rests in the top 10.9% nationally, and mobility disability stands in the top 11.8% nationally.
To spell things out, distance to a community health center is a federally funded (HRSA) community health center serving everyone regardless of ability to pay. Transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to average road, rail, and air noise at or above 55 decibels. Extreme heat is a modeled count of days a year reaching a dangerously high temperature, a leading weather hazard. Close by, ZIP 79027, just across the boundary, ranks healthier overall.

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 0.71 years of 77.1, 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.
