In its overall standing, Hastings, Oklahoma (ZIP 73548) lands in the bottom 11.3% nationally (28,469th) and the bottom 33% of Oklahoma (425th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
Reading the numbers as a whole, the picture lands somewhere in between: modeled transportation noise settles in the bottom 5.8% nationally. On the other side, modeled hearing disability is in the top 4.2% nationally, households without a vehicle sits in the top 3.8% nationally, and home broadband subscription lands in the bottom 4.0% nationally. Modeled nitrate lies in the top 4.3% nationally, and extreme heat stands in the top 4.6% nationally. Distance to an emergency room rests in the top 5.0% nationally, and modeled mammography registers in the bottom 6.5% nationally. Modeled high blood pressure resides in the top 6.5% nationally, and mobility disability settles in the top 8.7% nationally.
Put simply, nitrate is a groundwater compound from fertilizer, manure, and sewage, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. Extreme heat is a modeled count of days a year reaching a dangerously high temperature, a leading weather hazard. Transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to average road, rail, and air noise at or above 55 decibels. On the overall standing, ZIP 73529, just across the boundary, ranks healthier.

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 1.34 years of 75.9, 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.
