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.

Full methodology ›The read
Omega, Oklahoma (ZIP 73764), by its composite score, sits in the bottom 35% nationally (20,740th) and the top 19% of Oklahoma (118th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
The data opens on real and measurable burdens: modeled nitrate is in the top 0.4% nationally, and extreme heat lands in the top 5.8% nationally. Distance to a community health center stands in the top 6.9% nationally, and slow internet speeds registers in the top 7.6% nationally. Distance to a nursing home settles in the top 7.7% nationally, and lead in tap water sits in the top 9.0% nationally. More encouragingly, housing-cost burden lies in the bottom 4.1% nationally. Unemployment rests at the national minimum, shared with about 15% of ZIPs. Home broadband subscription resides in the top 8.0% nationally, and distance to a Superfund site is in the top 11.9% nationally.
For anyone unfamiliar, nitrate is a groundwater compound from fertilizer, manure, and sewage, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. Lead in tap water is the EPA trigger, 15 parts per billion in tap samples, above which a water system must act on lead. Distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. For a healthier comparison close by, see ZIP 73744, 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 1.54 years of 82.2, 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.
