Full methodology ›The read
In its overall standing, Keyes, Oklahoma (ZIP 73947) lands in the top 26% healthiest ZIPs nationally (8,427th) and the top 2.9% of Oklahoma (18th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
Reading the numbers as a whole, the picture lands somewhere in between: modeled industrial-pollution burden sits in the bottom 0.4% nationally, housing-cost burden lands in the bottom 3.8% nationally, and household income lies in the top 5.7% nationally. Modeled pfas stands in the bottom 5.9% nationally, and poverty rests in the bottom 6.1% nationally. On the other side, distance to a nursing home registers in the top 3.6% nationally, and modeled nitrate resides in the top 4.3% nationally. Distance to a community health center settles in the top 4.3% nationally, and home broadband subscription is in the bottom 4.8% nationally. Modeled tree cover sits at the national minimum.
Put simply, industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Nitrate is a groundwater compound from fertilizer, manure, and sewage, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. Pfas is the man-made "forever chemicals" that build up in the body and environment instead of breaking down; here a modeled estimate of the chance a private well contains them. No nearby ZIP ranks healthier overall than this one.

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 0.66 years of 79.4, 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.
