Civic-institution access
2.4 per 1,000 residents

Higher is healthier
ST99thUS99thDefinition & source ›
The number of civic and social organizations 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.

ST1stUS1stDefinition & source ›
The EPA’s modeled screening score for industrial chemical releases, weighting the amounts released by their toxicity and how many people live nearby — a relative comparison score, not a measured exposure.

Full methodology ›The read
Rocky, Oklahoma (ZIP 73661), by its composite score, sits in the bottom 30% nationally (22,455th) and the top 22% of Oklahoma (141st).
The measures that matter most for this area lead the way: modeled nitrate registers in the top 1.8% nationally, and extreme heat settles in the top 5.9% nationally. Fiber broadband sits at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Unemployment lies in the top 15% nationally. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility rests at the national minimum, shared with about 31% of ZIPs. On the better side, civic resides in the top 0.7% nationally, modeled industrial-pollution burden is in the bottom 1.1% nationally, and poverty lands in the bottom 11.7% nationally. Home broadband subscription stands in the top 12.4% nationally. Crowded housing registers at the national minimum, shared with about 29% of ZIPs.
Next to the surrounding area, civic runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For anyone unfamiliar, industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. 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 hazardous-chemical facility is a plant handling large amounts of hazardous chemicals that must file an EPA risk-management plan for accidental releases.

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 1.16 years of 76.9, 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.
