What defines this ZIP

Metrics where this ZIP sits in the tails of the national distribution — the ones that most set it apart. Select any tile for its definition and methodology.

Nitrate in drinking water

15.1%

in the top 2.6% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST73rd
US97th
Definition & source ›

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.

Outpatient-care access

0.61 per 1,000 residents

in the top 5.2% nationally

Higher is healthier

ST94th
US95th
Definition & source ›

The number of outpatient clinics 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.

Mental-health provider access

0.15 per 1,000 residents

in the top 6.5% nationally

Higher is healthier

ST91st
US94th
Definition & source ›

The number of mental-health clinics 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.

Dry extreme heat

64.2 days/year

in the top 6.7% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST63rd
US93rd
Definition & source ›

The average number of days per year with a modeled daily high of at least 95 °F.

Full methodology ›

Transportation noise

9.2%

in the top 9.9% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST95th
US90th
Definition & source ›

The modeled share of residents exposed to average road, rail, and aviation noise at or above 55 decibels — a noticeable background presence.

Full methodology ›

Expected annual disaster loss

$0

in the top 11.1% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST92nd
US89th
Definition & source ›

FEMA’s modeled estimate, in dollars per year, of the average harm to people expected from natural hazards — an annualized average, not a forecast for any single year.

Full methodology ›

Grocery access

0.15 per 1,000 residents

in the top 11.3% nationally

Higher is healthier

ST94th
US89th
Definition & source ›

The number of full supermarkets 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. ZipVitals’s food-access signal is derived from these in-ZIP densities — it is not USDA’s food-desert designation, which measures distance to the nearest supermarket. Where a leg is missing, a ZIP reads “not determinable,” never “not a food desert.”

Civic-institution access

0.46 per 1,000 residents

Higher is healthier

ST92nd
US86th
Definition & source ›

The number of civic and social organizations inside this ZIP’s boundary, per 1,000 residents.

The read

By the composite health measure, Perry, Oklahoma (ZIP 73077) ranks in the bottom 22% nationally (24,941st) and the top 35% of Oklahoma (221st).

continue reading

The signals balance out across the profile, strengths against concerns: outpatient settles in the top 5.2% nationally. Distance to an emergency room resides at the national minimum, shared with about 11% of ZIPs. Mental-health providers registers in the top 6.5% nationally, and grocery rests in the top 11.3% nationally. Set against that, modeled nitrate stands in the top 2.6% nationally, extreme heat lies in the top 6.7% nationally, and transportation noise lands in the top 9.9% nationally. Modeled expected annual loss sits in the top 11.1% nationally, modeled mammography is in the bottom 10.7% nationally, and lead in tap water settles in the top 11.4% nationally.

Read against the ZIPs closest to it, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. To spell things out, nitrate is a groundwater compound from fertilizer, manure, and sewage, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Lead in tap water is the EPA trigger, 15 parts per billion in tap samples, above which a water system must act on lead. Close by, ZIP 73073, just across the boundary, ranks healthier overall.

Nearby & similar ZIPs

Editorially selected — see how this ZIP compares to nearby and similar places.

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 0.87 years of 76.1, and it’s very unlikely to be off by more than twice that.

More ZIPs to explore ▾

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.
