Full methodology ›The read
By the composite measure, Isabella, Oklahoma (ZIP 73747) sits in the bottom 44% nationally (17,878th) and the top 12.7% of Oklahoma (80th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
The profile cuts both ways, and the readings bear that out: housing-cost burden is in the bottom 3.8% nationally, modeled industrial-pollution burden rests in the bottom 5.1% nationally, and distance to a Superfund site sits in the top 6.3% nationally. Modeled transportation noise registers in the bottom 6.8% nationally. Households without a vehicle lands at the national minimum, shared with about 16% of ZIPs. Modeled loud transportation noise resides at the national minimum, shared with about 22% of ZIPs. Working the other way, modeled nitrate lies in the top 0.3% nationally, and mammography settles in the bottom 6.3% nationally. Modeled extreme heat stands in the top 6.0% nationally, and distance to a community health center is in the top 13.0% nationally.
In plain language, nitrate is a groundwater compound from fertilizer, manure, and sewage, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. Industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. ZIP 73703, about 13 miles away, ranks 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 1.01 years of 77.6, 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.
