What defines this ZIP
Metrics where this ZIP sits in the tails of the national distribution — the ones that most set it apart. Select any tile for its definition and methodology.
Child-care access
0.72 per 1,000 residents
in the top 4.9% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST94thUS95thDefinition & source ›
The number of child day-care services inside this ZIP’s boundary, per 1,000 residents.
Counted from establishments located inside this ZIP’s boundary, so one just across the line is not counted. Where a ZIP has too few residents for the density to be reliable, no value is published rather than an unreliable one.
Full methodology ›Dry extreme heat
78.4 days/year
in the top 5.1% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST94thUS95thDefinition & source ›
The average number of days per year with a modeled daily high of at least 95 °F.

Lower is healthier
ST56thUS92ndDefinition & source ›
The modeled share of this area’s domestic-well groundwater at or above the federal nitrate limit of 10 milligrams per liter.
A modeled likelihood for untreated groundwater, the source drawn on by private wells, which are federally unregulated. It is not a measurement of treated water delivered by a public system, and it is not a test of any individual well.

Lower is healthier
ST91stUS88thDefinition & source ›
The estimated share of adults who usually sleep less than seven hours in a 24-hour period.

Full methodology ›The read
Indiahoma, Oklahoma (ZIP 73552), in overall standing, comes out in the bottom 34% nationally (21,142nd) and the top 20% of Oklahoma (126th).
A few readings each way define this mixed profile: childcare settles in the top 4.9% nationally, homeownership lands in the top 14.8% nationally, and housing-cost burden rests in the bottom 16% nationally. Pulling the other way, modeled extreme heat settles in the top 5.1% nationally, nitrate lands in the top 7.8% nationally, and short sleep rests in the top 12.0% nationally. Fatal road crashes settles in the top 14.8% nationally, and modeled obesity lands in the top 14.4% nationally. Distance to an emergency room rests in the top 17% nationally. Recreation settles at the national minimum, shared with about 35% of ZIPs.
Defined simply, for reference, 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. The closest healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 73503, 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 2.14 years of 77.5, 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.
