Full methodology ›The read
In its overall standing, Ripley, Oklahoma (ZIP 74062) lands in the bottom 11.8% nationally (28,314th) and the bottom 35% of Oklahoma (415th).
This area's measures are easy to read as a mixed set: modeled industrial-pollution burden lies in the bottom 13.4% nationally. Set against that, modeled mammography stands in the bottom 4.7% nationally, crowded housing rests in the top 5.7% nationally, and modeled hearing disability registers in the top 6.0% nationally. Modeled nitrate resides in the top 5.9% nationally, and extreme heat settles in the top 7.2% nationally. Modeled colon screening is in the bottom 11.7% nationally, and cognitive disability sits in the top 14.1% nationally. Modeled mobility disability lands in the top 16% nationally, and tooth loss lies in the top 14.4% nationally.
Put simply, nitrate is a groundwater compound from fertilizer, manure, and sewage, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. Industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Extreme heat is a modeled count of days a year reaching a dangerously high temperature, a leading weather hazard. On the overall standing, ZIP 74059, just across the boundary, ranks healthier.

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 1.26 years of 76.0, 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.
