Full methodology ›The read
With only some of the sources reporting, for Odell, Texas (ZIP 79247), health standing is not ranked here — the available data is too limited to place it confidently.
Reading what data there is, a few things can be said: housing-cost burden resides at the national minimum, poverty settles at the national minimum, and homeownership is at the national maximum. Home broadband subscription sits at the national maximum, fiber broadband lands in the top 3.8% nationally, and modeled transportation noise lies in the bottom 4.8% nationally. Distance to a Superfund site stands in the top 6.1% nationally, and modeled expected annual loss rests in the bottom 6.1% nationally. Working the other way, modeled nitrate registers in the top 0.5% nationally, and extreme heat resides in the top 1.9% nationally.
Put simply, nitrate is a groundwater compound from fertilizer, manure, and sewage, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. Distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards.

| Life expectancy at birth | 77.2 yr ± 1.82 | 78.9 yr (74.7–82.8) n=31,308 | 78.2 yr (75.1–81.7) n=1,772 |
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 1.82 years of 77.2, and it’s very unlikely to be off by more than twice that.
