Aline, Oklahoma (ZIP 73716), by its composite score, sits in the bottom 16% nationally (26,925th) and the bottom 48% of Oklahoma (327th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
The data opens on real and measurable burdens: modeled nitrate resides in the top 0.6% nationally, and mammography is in the bottom 5.9% nationally. Modeled extreme heat lands in the top 5.7% nationally, and hearing disability stands in the top 10.1% nationally. Distance to a nursing home registers in the top 11.3% nationally, and distance to a community health center settles in the top 13.9% nationally. More encouragingly, housing-cost burden sits in the bottom 4.2% nationally, distance to a Superfund site lies in the top 4.7% nationally, and modeled transportation noise rests in the bottom 7.9% nationally. Households without a vehicle resides at the national minimum, shared with about 16% of ZIPs.
For anyone unfamiliar, 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 Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. Extreme heat is a modeled count of days a year reaching a dangerously high temperature, a leading weather hazard. For a healthier comparison close by, see ZIP 73717, 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 1.30 years of 80.0, 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.
