Full methodology ›The read
Kremlin, Oklahoma (ZIP 73753), on the composite measure, lands in the top 31% healthiest ZIPs nationally (10,066th) and the top 4.6% of Oklahoma (29th).
Where the data leans one way, another reading answers it: unemployment lies at the national minimum, shared with about 15% of ZIPs. Poverty settles in the bottom 7.8% nationally, distance to a Superfund site stands in the top 9.8% nationally, and homeownership is in the top 11.3% nationally. Home broadband subscription rests in the top 11.9% nationally, and modeled housing insecurity sits in the bottom 13.3% nationally. Modeled food insecurity registers in the bottom 13.5% nationally, and transportation lands in the bottom 13.7% nationally. On the other hand, modeled nitrate resides in the top 0.4% nationally, and extreme heat lies in the top 6.2% 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. Extreme heat is a modeled count of days a year reaching a dangerously high temperature, a leading weather hazard. A healthier neighbor overall sits at ZIP 73705, about 11 miles away.

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 1.56 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. How distance is measured
