This rate is not identical across the state of Texas and studies have found significant disparities between zip codes for example the 76164 zip code has an infant mortality rate of 12.3 deaths per 1,000 live births while the neighboring 76107 zip code has a rate of 1.8 deaths per 1,000 live births.
