Full methodology ›The read
On the composite measure, Goltry, Oklahoma (ZIP 73739) stands in the bottom 14.2% nationally (27,530th) and the bottom 42% of Oklahoma (369th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
Several signals sit on each side of the ledger here: fiber broadband settles in the top 4.9% nationally, and distance to a Superfund site rests in the top 6.4% nationally. Unemployment lands at the national minimum, shared with about 15% of ZIPs. Modeled binge drinking settles in the bottom 12.2% nationally. Working the other way, modeled nitrate rests in the top 0.2% nationally, hearing disability lands in the top 4.8% nationally, and mammography settles in the bottom 5.7% nationally. Modeled extreme heat rests in the top 5.8% nationally, loud transportation noise lands in the top 7.0% nationally, and transportation noise settles in the top 8.1% nationally.
For clarity, 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 73727, just across the boundary, ranks better overall among the ZIPs nearby.

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 1.68 years of 81.3, 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.
