Goldsboro, Texas (ZIP 79519), overall, ranks in the bottom 31% nationally (22,056th) and the top 50% of Texas (930th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
Several serious readings shape the profile and deserve first mention: modeled mammography rests in the bottom 3.5% nationally, distance to a nursing home registers in the top 3.9% nationally, and modeled extreme heat resides in the top 4.6% nationally. Distance to a community health center settles in the top 6.1% nationally. On the better side, household income is in the top 2.7% nationally, and housing-cost burden sits at the national minimum. Poverty lands at the national minimum, and distance to a Superfund site lies in the top 2.7% nationally. Home broadband subscription stands at the national maximum. Unemployment rests at the national minimum, shared with about 15% of ZIPs.
Defined simply, distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. 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. ZIP 79530, just across the boundary, comes out 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 0.99 years of 78.9, 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.
