Full methodology ›The read
Jet, Oklahoma (ZIP 73749), by its overall standing, sits in the bottom 44% nationally (17,932nd) and the top 13.0% of Oklahoma (82nd), based on limited data; treat as directional.
The profile opens on the burdens that define it most: modeled nitrate rests in the top 0.8% nationally, unemployment lies in the top 3.4% nationally, and modeled extreme heat sits in the top 5.6% nationally. Distance to an emergency room settles in the top 7.4% nationally, distance to a nursing home registers in the top 10.3% nationally, and home broadband subscription stands in the bottom 10.6% nationally. More positively, fiber broadband lands in the top 3.8% nationally, and housing-cost burden is in the bottom 5.6% nationally. Distance to a Superfund site resides in the top 7.8% nationally. Modeled loud transportation noise rests at the national minimum, shared with about 22% of ZIPs.
Defined in plain terms, 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. The nearest ZIP ranking healthier overall is ZIP 73722, 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 1.75 years of 81.1, 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.
