The data opens on a genuinely even set of readings: modeled binge drinking lands in the bottom 7.3% nationally, and housing-cost burden stands in the bottom 11.8% nationally. On the other side, modeled hearing disability registers in the top 5.2% nationally, and extreme heat settles in the top 6.3% nationally. Modeled mammography sits in the bottom 8.1% nationally, walkability lies in the bottom 8.8% nationally, and modeled high blood pressure rests in the top 8.7% nationally. Lead in tap water resides in the top 10.7% nationally, crowded housing is in the top 11.2% nationally, and modeled coronary heart disease lands in the top 12.3% nationally.

For readers new to these terms, lead in tap water is the EPA trigger, 15 parts per billion in tap samples, above which a water system must act on lead. Extreme heat is a modeled count of days a year reaching a dangerously high temperature, a leading weather hazard. Among nearby ZIPs, the nearest healthier one overall is ZIP 73443, about 2.4 miles away.

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 2.51 years of 81.9, 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.
