Subsidized affordable housing
503 units
in the top 4.4% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST99thUS96thDefinition & source ›
The number of affordable rental units in this ZIP supported by the federal Low-Income Housing Tax Credit program.
Full methodology ›Dental provider access
1.1 per 1,000 residents
in the top 4.9% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST96thUS95thDefinition & source ›
The number of dental offices located inside this ZIP’s boundary, per 1,000 residents.
Counted from establishments located inside this ZIP’s boundary, so one just across the line is not counted. Where a ZIP has too few residents for the density to be reliable, no value is published rather than an unreliable one.
Full methodology ›PFOS in drinking water
95.8%
in the top 6.3% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST99thUS94thDefinition & source ›
The share of residents served by public water systems where PFOS, one of the most common “forever chemicals,” was detected in EPA testing.
Measured from EPA records for the public water systems that serve this ZIP. Households on private wells — roughly 30% of the US population — are not covered by this measure, and this figure says nothing about their water.
Full methodology ›Dry extreme heat
65.3 days/year
in the top 6.5% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST68thUS94thDefinition & source ›
The average number of days per year with a modeled daily high of at least 95 °F.
Full methodology ›Fatal road crashes
2.2 per 100,000 residents per year
in the bottom 7.4% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST2ndUS7thDefinition & source ›
The annual rate of fatal road crashes per 100,000 residents, pooled over a ten-year window.
A rate per resident population. Where a ZIP has too few residents for the rate to be reliable — about 30% of US ZIPs — no value is published rather than an unstable one; those ZIPs are absent from this comparison, not counted as crash-free.
Full methodology ›Walkability
110 intersections/sq mi
in the top 9.2% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST96thUS91stDefinition & source ›
The number of street intersections per square mile — a standard street-connectivity measure; denser networks correlate with more walkable neighborhoods.
Full methodology ›Park land
7.9%
in the top 14.0% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST97thUS86thDefinition & source ›
The share of this ZIP’s land area that is public parkland.
Full methodology ›Recreation access
0.71 per 1,000 residents
in the top 17% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST91stUS83rdDefinition & source ›
The number of places for physical recreation — gyms, sports, and fitness venues — inside this ZIP’s boundary, per 1,000 residents.
Counted from establishments located inside this ZIP’s boundary, so one just across the line is not counted. Where a ZIP has too few residents for the density to be reliable, no value is published rather than an unreliable one.
Full methodology ›Stroke

in the bottom 18% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST7thUS18thDefinition & source ›
The estimated share of adults who have been told by a health professional that they have had a stroke.

Full methodology ›The read
ZIP 73003, one of several in Edmond, Oklahoma, by its overall standing, sits in the top 30% healthiest ZIPs nationally (9,508th) and the top 3.5% of Oklahoma (22nd).
The data is generous to this ZIP in several places worth naming: subsidized affordable housing lands in the top 4.4% nationally, dental providers is in the top 4.9% nationally, and fatal road crashes resides in the bottom 7.4% nationally. Walkability rests in the top 9.2% nationally, distance to an emergency room lies in the bottom 12.4% nationally, and pharmacy sits in the top 13.2% nationally. Park land settles in the top 14.0% nationally. Working the other way, PFOS in drinking water registers in the top 6.3% nationally, and modeled extreme heat stands in the top 6.5% nationally. Homeownership lands in the bottom 14.2% nationally.
Held up against its neighbors, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Defined in plain terms, PFOS in drinking water is a common one of the man-made "forever chemicals" that build up in the body and environment instead of breaking down. Subsidized affordable housing is the main federal tax-credit program (HUD) funding affordable rental housing, counted as local units it supports. Extreme heat is a modeled count of days a year reaching a dangerously high temperature, a leading weather hazard. The nearest ZIP ranking healthier overall is ZIP 73012, just across the boundary.

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 0.93 years of 80.2, 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. How distance is measured
