Full methodology ›The read
Carrier, Oklahoma (ZIP 73727), on the composite measure, lands in the top 32% healthiest ZIPs nationally (10,292nd) and the top 5.3% of Oklahoma (33rd).
Where the data leans one way, another reading answers it: modeled loneliness lies in the bottom 3.8% nationally, and distance to a Superfund site settles in the top 6.6% nationally. Households without a vehicle stands at the national minimum, shared with about 16% of ZIPs. On the other hand, modeled nitrate is in the top 0.3% nationally, and unemployment rests in the top 0.7% nationally. Slow internet speeds sits in the top 3.5% nationally, and modeled loud transportation noise registers in the top 3.6% nationally. Modeled extreme heat lands in the top 6.1% nationally, and transportation noise resides in the top 6.9% nationally. Modeled high cholesterol lies in the top 6.5% nationally.
Set against the neighboring ZIPs, unemployment runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In everyday language, 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. Loud transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to road, rail, and air noise at or above 65 decibels, near conversation volume. A healthier neighbor overall sits at ZIP 73753, about 1.0 miles away.

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 0.92 years of 78.0, 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.
