Full methodology ›The read
On the composite measure, Leon, Oklahoma (ZIP 73441) stands in the bottom 8.5% nationally (29,363rd) and the bottom 24% of Oklahoma (485th).
Several readings make the pressure on this area plain: modeled nitrate lands in the top 1.4% nationally, and colon screening settles in the bottom 3.6% nationally. Modeled hearing disability rests in the top 2.6% nationally, and mammography lands in the bottom 3.2% nationally. Home broadband subscription settles in the bottom 3.3% nationally, distance to a nursing home rests in the top 4.8% nationally, and modeled extreme heat lands in the top 5.2% nationally. Distance to a community health center settles in the top 6.1% nationally, and modeled coronary heart disease rests in the top 6.0% nationally. On the encouraging side, modeled transportation noise lands at the national minimum.
Set beside the wider area around it, outer-floodplain exposure runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For clarity, nitrate is a groundwater compound from fertilizer, manure, and sewage, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. Transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to average road, rail, and air noise at or above 55 decibels. Extreme heat is a modeled count of days a year reaching a dangerously high temperature, a leading weather hazard. ZIP 73430, just across the boundary, ranks better overall among the ZIPs nearby.

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 1.04 years of 77.6, 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.
