In overall standing, Camargo, Oklahoma (ZIP 73835) comes out in the bottom 14.3% nationally (27,499th) and the bottom 42% of Oklahoma (367th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
Both sides of the picture show up plainly in this area's numbers: distance to a Superfund site registers in the top 4.8% nationally. By contrast, modeled mammography stands in the bottom 4.5% nationally, distance to a community health center lands in the top 5.5% nationally, and modeled nitrate is in the top 6.9% nationally. Modeled extreme heat resides in the top 7.0% nationally, and slow internet speeds rests in the top 9.3% nationally. Fiber broadband lies at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Distance to an emergency room sits in the top 10.6% nationally, and household income settles in the bottom 4.3% nationally. Home broadband subscription registers in the bottom 11.7% nationally.
In plain terms, distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. 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 community health center is a federally funded (HRSA) community health center serving everyone regardless of ability to pay. The nearest healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 73654, 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 1.39 years of 76.5, 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.
