Full methodology ›The read
Olton, Texas (ZIP 79064), in overall standing, comes out in the bottom 25% nationally (23,979th) and the bottom 38% of Texas (1,155th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
A balanced showing across the data, with a few readings each side: fiber broadband rests in the top 2.7% nationally, pharmacy settles in the top 7.9% nationally, and modeled industrial-pollution burden lands in the bottom 8.6% nationally. On the other hand, modeled uninsured rests in the top 1.4% nationally, colon screening settles in the bottom 5.1% nationally, and vision disability lands in the top 7.2% nationally. Modeled fair or poor health rests in the top 8.2% nationally, and extreme heat settles in the top 8.3% nationally. Modeled diabetes lands in the top 9.8% nationally, and distance to a community health center rests in the top 10.9% nationally.
Defined simply, for reference, 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. Distance to a community health center is a federally funded (HRSA) community health center serving everyone regardless of ability to pay. The closest healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 79032, about 4.0 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 0.61 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.
