Full methodology ›The read
By its overall health score, Kingston, Oklahoma (ZIP 73439) lands in the bottom 13.0% nationally (27,904th) and the bottom 38% of Oklahoma (391st), based on limited data; treat as directional.
Neither strongly one way nor the other, the measures sit mixed: distance to a Superfund site lands in the top 6.1% nationally. Against that, modeled hearing disability registers in the top 2.6% nationally, and extreme heat sits in the top 5.5% nationally. Modeled mammography rests in the bottom 6.7% nationally, nitrate is in the top 6.9% nationally, and coronary heart disease stands in the top 7.7% nationally. Modeled mobility disability settles in the top 9.3% nationally, high cholesterol lies in the top 6.3% nationally, and industrial-pollution burden resides in the top 9.2% nationally. Fiber broadband lands at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs.
Weighed against the ZIPs nearby, industrial-pollution burden runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. To translate a couple of terms, distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. 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. Overall, the nearest healthier neighbor is ZIP 73440, 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 0.83 years of 78.2, 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.
