Full methodology ›The read
Cleo Springs, Oklahoma (ZIP 73729), overall, ranks in the bottom 20% nationally (25,630th) and the top 40% of Oklahoma (255th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
Taken together, the data gives a genuinely mixed reading: distance to a Superfund site is in the top 5.1% nationally. Unemployment sits at the national minimum, shared with about 15% of ZIPs. Modeled binge drinking lands in the bottom 9.2% nationally. On the other side, modeled nitrate lies in the top 0.8% nationally, and extreme heat stands in the top 5.7% nationally. Modeled hearing disability rests in the top 6.5% nationally, and distance to a community health center registers in the top 8.4% nationally. Slow internet speeds resides in the top 10.7% nationally, and modeled mammography settles in the bottom 13.2% nationally. Modeled high cholesterol is in the top 11.6% nationally.
Defined simply, 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. ZIP 73737, just across the boundary, comes out 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 1.55 years of 79.6, 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.
