The number of services for older adults and people with disabilities 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 ›The read
In its overall standing, Hinton, Oklahoma (ZIP 73047) lands in the bottom 21% nationally (25,306th) and the top 37% of Oklahoma (235th).
Reading across the data, the real pressures come first: modeled colon screening settles in the bottom 1.4% nationally, uninsured is in the top 3.4% nationally, and nitrate sits in the top 1.5% nationally. Modeled mammography lands in the bottom 6.1% nationally, distance to an emergency room lies in the top 6.3% nationally, and modeled extreme heat stands in the top 6.6% nationally. Distance to a community health center rests in the top 9.0% nationally, and modeled housing insecurity registers in the top 10.0% nationally. More encouragingly, elder services resides in the top 9.7% nationally, and modeled industrial-pollution burden settles in the bottom 10.9% 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. Industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Extreme heat is a modeled count of days a year reaching a dangerously high temperature, a leading weather hazard. On the overall standing, ZIP 73059, just across the boundary, ranks healthier.

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 0.84 years of 80.7, 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.
