Del City, Oklahoma (ZIP 73115), by its composite score, sits in the bottom 10.9% nationally (28,572nd) and the bottom 31% of Oklahoma (435th).
The measures fall on both sides for this area, fairly evenly: walkability sits in the top 6.9% nationally. Distance to a community health center lies at the national minimum, shared with about 23% of ZIPs. Pulling the other way, modeled extreme heat rests in the top 7.3% nationally, cognitive disability resides in the top 8.5% nationally, and utility shutoff is in the top 8.0% nationally. Distance to a Superfund site lands in the bottom 8.4% nationally, modeled housing insecurity stands in the top 10.2% nationally, and outer-floodplain exposure registers in the top 11.4% nationally. Modeled transportation settles in the top 11.4% nationally, and food insecurity sits in the top 11.7% nationally.
Next to the surrounding area, outer-floodplain exposure runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For anyone unfamiliar, distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. Extreme heat is a modeled count of days a year reaching a dangerously high temperature, a leading weather hazard. Distance to a community health center is a federally funded (HRSA) community health center serving everyone regardless of ability to pay.

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 0.74 years of 71.8, 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.
