The modeled share of household income spent on home energy bills — electricity, gas, and heating fuels.
A modeled share of household income spent on home energy. Estimates that hit the model’s 100% ceiling are suppressed rather than published, because at that point the figure reflects the model’s limit rather than a measured burden.
Full methodology ›The read
ZIP 73165, one of several in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma ranks in the top 40% healthiest ZIPs nationally (12,950th) and the top 7.0% of Oklahoma (44th).
Several of the strongest readings define how this area looks: household income is in the top 8.1% nationally, and homeownership registers in the top 8.2% nationally. Park land lies in the top 9.4% nationally, and home broadband subscription is in the top 12.8% nationally. Modeled binge drinking registers in the bottom 13.0% nationally, and tooth loss lies in the bottom 13.5% nationally. On the other hand, modeled extreme heat is in the top 7.6% nationally, modeled pfas registers in the top 11.2% nationally, and distance to a Superfund site lies in the bottom 12.9% nationally. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility is at the national minimum, shared with about 31% of ZIPs.
Against its neighbors, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For context, pfas is the man-made "forever chemicals" that build up in the body and environment instead of breaking down; here a modeled estimate of the chance a private well contains them. Distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility is a plant handling large amounts of hazardous chemicals that must file an EPA risk-management plan for accidental releases. The closest ZIP that ranks healthier overall is ZIP 73150, 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 0.93 years of 77.0, 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.
