Full methodology ›The read
ZIP 73069, one of several in Norman, Oklahoma, on the composite measure, lands in the bottom 39% nationally (19,530th) and the top 16% of Oklahoma (99th).
The readings split fairly evenly between strengths and concerns: dental providers stands in the top 1.6% nationally, outpatient is in the top 5.4% nationally, and mental-health providers rests in the top 6.6% nationally. Physicians sits in the top 6.8% nationally, recreation registers in the top 7.2% nationally, and elder services lands in the top 10.0% nationally. Working the other way, modeled disaster risk resides in the top 3.5% nationally, and homeownership lies in the bottom 7.1% nationally. Modeled extreme heat settles in the top 7.4% nationally, and expected annual loss stands in the top 7.8% nationally.
Set against the neighboring ZIPs, park land runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In everyday language, disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. 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 73071, 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 0.88 years of 76.9, 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. How distance is measured
