What defines this ZIP

Metrics where this ZIP sits in the tails of the national distribution — the ones that most set it apart. Select any tile for its definition and methodology.

Nitrate in drinking water

54.7%

in the top 0.8% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST90th
US99th
Definition & source ›

The modeled share of this area’s domestic-well groundwater at or above the federal nitrate limit of 10 milligrams per liter.

A modeled likelihood for untreated groundwater, the source drawn on by private wells, which are federally unregulated. It is not a measurement of treated water delivered by a public system, and it is not a test of any individual well.

Mammography

65.4%

in the bottom 3.3% nationally

Higher is healthier

ST22nd
US3rd
Definition & source ›

The estimated share of women aged 50–74 who had a mammogram within the past two years.

Full methodology ›

Pharmacy access

0.69 per 1,000 residents

in the top 2.4% nationally

Higher is healthier

ST96th
US98th
Definition & source ›

The number of pharmacies located inside this ZIP’s boundary, per 1,000 residents.

Counted from establishments located inside this ZIP’s boundary, so one just across the line is not counted. Where a ZIP has too few residents for the density to be reliable, no value is published rather than an unreliable one.

Full methodology ›

Energy-cost burden

5.8%

in the top 3.6% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST99th
US96th
Definition & source ›

The modeled share of household income spent on home energy bills — electricity, gas, and heating fuels.

A modeled share of household income spent on home energy. Estimates that hit the model’s 100% ceiling are suppressed rather than published, because at that point the figure reflects the model’s limit rather than a measured burden.

Full methodology ›

Hearing disability

11.7%

in the top 5.6% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST71st
US94th
Definition & source ›

The estimated share of adults who are deaf or have serious difficulty hearing.

Full methodology ›

Dry extreme heat

73.5 days/year

in the top 5.6% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST90th
US94th
Definition & source ›

The average number of days per year with a modeled daily high of at least 95 °F.

59.3 mi

in the top 8.9% nationally

Higher is healthier

ST83rd
US91st
Definition & source ›

The distance in miles from this ZIP’s edge to the nearest Superfund site — an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has listed for cleanup.

Full methodology ›

Industrial-pollution burden

in the bottom 9.9% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST13th
US10th
Definition & source ›

The EPA’s modeled screening score for industrial chemical releases, weighting the amounts released by their toxicity and how many people live nearby — a relative comparison score, not a measured exposure.

Full methodology ›

Fiber broadband

94.5%

in the top 11.0% nationally

Higher is healthier

ST92nd
US89th
Definition & source ›

The share of homes where fiber-optic internet service is available.

The read

Judged by its overall standing, Okeene, Oklahoma (ZIP 73763) sits in the bottom 12.0% nationally (28,247th) and the bottom 35% of Oklahoma (413th), based on limited data; treat as directional.

A few readings account for most of this area's strain: modeled nitrate lies in the top 0.8% nationally, mammography registers in the bottom 3.3% nationally, and energy burden is in the top 3.6% nationally. Modeled hearing disability lies in the top 5.6% nationally, modeled extreme heat registers in the top 5.6% nationally, and fatal road crashes is in the top 10.8% nationally. On the better side, pharmacy lies in the top 2.4% nationally. Distance to an emergency room registers at the national minimum, shared with about 11% of ZIPs. Distance to a Superfund site is in the top 8.9% nationally, and modeled industrial-pollution burden lies in the bottom 9.9% nationally.

Put plainly, 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. Industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. A healthier nearby ZIP overall is ZIP 73718, just across the boundary.

Nearby & similar ZIPs

Editorially selected — see how this ZIP compares to nearby and similar places.

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 2.04 years of 74.5, 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.
