Full methodology ›The read
Drummond, Oklahoma (ZIP 73735), on the composite measure, lands in the bottom 36% nationally (20,680th) and the top 18% of Oklahoma (115th).
Where this area is stretched, the data is unambiguous: modeled nitrate settles in the top 0.6% nationally, modeled mammography stands in the bottom 4.4% nationally, and home broadband subscription is in the bottom 4.4% nationally. Modeled extreme heat rests in the top 5.9% nationally, loud transportation noise sits in the top 9.7% nationally, and transportation noise registers in the top 15% nationally. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility lands at the national minimum, shared with about 31% of ZIPs. Better still, distance to a Superfund site resides in the top 7.4% nationally, and housing-cost burden lies in the bottom 9.0% nationally. Homeownership settles in the top 14.4% nationally.
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. 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. A healthier neighbor overall sits at ZIP 73703, 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 0.99 years of 78.7, 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.
