By the composite measure, Springlake, Texas (ZIP 79082) sits in the bottom 10.2% nationally (28,812th) and the bottom 10.0% of Texas (1,683rd), based on limited data; treat as directional.
Where this area is stretched, the data is unambiguous: modeled uninsured is in the top 2.6% nationally, slow internet speeds rests in the top 4.0% nationally, and modeled fair or poor health sits in the top 6.5% nationally. Distance to a community health center registers in the top 5.3% nationally, modeled mobility disability lands in the top 8.1% nationally, and modeled vision disability resides in the top 8.3% nationally. Better still, housing-cost burden lies at the national minimum, and modeled industrial-pollution burden settles in the bottom 5.9% nationally. Unemployment stands at the national minimum, shared with about 15% of ZIPs. Modeled transportation noise is in the bottom 8.2% nationally.
Compared with the ZIPs that surround it, slow internet speeds runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In plain language, 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. Transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to average road, rail, and air noise at or above 55 decibels. 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 0.59 years of 77.3, 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.
