Overall, Vici, Oklahoma (ZIP 73859) places in the bottom 20% nationally (25,499th) and the top 38% of Oklahoma (241st), based on limited data; treat as directional.
The data opens on a genuinely even set of readings: distance to a Superfund site lands in the top 5.6% nationally, and housing-cost burden stands in the bottom 10.6% nationally. Distance to a nursing home registers at the national minimum, shared with about 27% of ZIPs. On the other side, modeled nitrate settles in the top 0.9% nationally, distance to a community health center sits in the top 5.1% nationally, and modeled mammography lies in the bottom 7.0% nationally. Modeled hearing disability rests in the top 7.0% nationally, and extreme heat resides in the top 7.2% nationally. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility is at the national minimum, shared with about 31% of ZIPs. Recreation lands at the national minimum, shared with about 35% of ZIPs.
For readers new to these 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. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility is a plant handling large amounts of hazardous chemicals that must file an EPA risk-management plan for accidental releases. Among nearby ZIPs, the nearest healthier one 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 1.48 years of 75.8, 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.
