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

41.5%

in the top 1.1% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST86th
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.

Distance to a Superfund site

86.4 mi

in the top 4.5% nationally

Higher is healthier

ST99th
US96th
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 ›

Dry extreme heat

70.1 days/year

in the top 5.9% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST82nd
US94th
Definition & source ›

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

Full methodology ›

Fatal road crashes

41.4 per 100,000 residents per year

in the top 6.4% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST86th
US94th
Definition & source ›

The annual rate of fatal road crashes per 100,000 residents, pooled over a ten-year window.

A rate per resident population. Where a ZIP has too few residents for the rate to be reliable — about 30% of US ZIPs — no value is published rather than an unstable one; those ZIPs are absent from this comparison, not counted as crash-free.

Full methodology ›

Distance to a community health center

21.3 mi

in the top 7.5% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST93rd
US93rd
Definition & source ›

The distance in miles from this ZIP’s edge to the nearest federally funded community health center, which serves patients regardless of ability to pay.

Full methodology ›

Mammography

68.2%

in the bottom 8.1% nationally

Higher is healthier

ST56th
US8th
Definition & source ›

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

Full methodology ›

Transportation noise

7.6%

in the top 13.2% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST93rd
US87th
Definition & source ›

The modeled share of residents exposed to average road, rail, and aviation noise at or above 55 decibels — a noticeable background presence.

Full methodology ›

Air-toxics cancer risk

20 per million

in the bottom 25% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST8th
US25th
Definition & source ›

The EPA’s modeled estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air toxics, in cases per million people exposed over a lifetime.

Humid extreme heat

88 days/year

in the top 29% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST10th
US71st

The read

In overall standing, Waynoka, Oklahoma (ZIP 73860) comes out in the bottom 23% nationally (24,815th) and the top 35% of Oklahoma (219th), based on limited data; treat as directional.

The profile opens on the burdens that define it most: modeled nitrate lands in the top 1.1% nationally, modeled extreme heat is in the top 5.9% nationally, and fatal road crashes resides in the top 6.4% nationally. Distance to a community health center rests in the top 7.5% nationally, modeled mammography lies in the bottom 8.1% nationally, and modeled hearing disability sits in the top 10.1% nationally. Modeled transportation noise settles in the top 13.2% nationally, and distance to a nursing home registers in the top 14.5% nationally. Modeled high cholesterol stands in the top 11.6% nationally. More positively, distance to a Superfund site lands in the top 4.5% nationally.

In plain 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. Extreme heat is a modeled count of days a year reaching a dangerously high temperature, a leading weather hazard. The nearest healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 73717, just across the boundary.

What’s driving this score

Nine domains make up the ZipVitals Score — here is how this ZIP does on each, and how much each one counts.

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 1.06 years of 77.4, and it’s very unlikely to be off by more than twice that.

More ZIPs to explore ▾

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.
