By the composite health measure, Durham, Oklahoma (ZIP 73642) ranks in the bottom 13.7% nationally (27,681st) and the bottom 41% of Oklahoma (376th).
What defines this place in the numbers is worth naming first: modeled hearing disability lies in the top 0.5% nationally, and coronary heart disease lands in the top 1.3% nationally. Distance to a community health center sits in the top 1.8% nationally, and modeled nitrate is in the top 3.2% nationally. Modeled high blood pressure settles in the top 3.4% nationally, distance to a nursing home resides in the top 3.7% nationally, and modeled high cholesterol registers in the top 2.3% nationally. Distance to an emergency room rests in the top 4.4% nationally, and slow internet speeds stands in the top 4.6% nationally. More encouragingly, housing-cost burden lies at the national minimum.
To spell things out, nitrate is a groundwater compound from fertilizer, manure, and sewage, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. Distance to a community health center is a federally funded (HRSA) community health center serving everyone regardless of ability to pay. Close by, ZIP 73628, just across the boundary, ranks healthier overall.

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 1.84 years of 82.4, 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.
