The modeled share of this area’s domestic-well groundwater at or above the federal nitrate limit of 10 milligrams per liter.
A modeled likelihood for untreated groundwater, the source drawn on by private wells, which are federally unregulated. It is not a measurement of treated water delivered by a public system, and it is not a test of any individual well.

Full methodology ›The read
Binger, Oklahoma (ZIP 73009), on the composite measure, lands in the bottom 13.2% nationally (27,837th) and the bottom 39% of Oklahoma (384th).
Where this area is stretched, the data is unambiguous: modeled hearing disability is in the top 1.8% nationally, nitrate rests in the top 1.4% nationally, and mobility disability sits in the top 4.0% nationally. Modeled mammography registers in the bottom 4.0% nationally, high blood pressure lands in the top 4.3% nationally, and coronary heart disease resides in the top 5.1% nationally. Modeled extreme heat lies in the top 6.1% nationally, and stroke settles in the top 7.8% nationally. Better still, childcare stands in the top 1.5% nationally, and modeled binge drinking is in the bottom 3.7% nationally.
In everyday language, nitrate is a groundwater compound from fertilizer, manure, and sewage, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. Extreme heat is a modeled count of days a year reaching a dangerously high temperature, a leading weather hazard. A healthier neighbor overall sits at ZIP 73042, 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 0.85 years of 81.1, 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.
