By its overall health score, Sperry, Oklahoma (ZIP 74073) lands in the bottom 24% nationally (24,332nd) and the top 32% of Oklahoma (203rd).
Strengths and concerns sit side by side across the measures here: home broadband subscription settles in the top 14.9% nationally, and modeled transportation noise lies in the bottom 18% nationally. On the other hand, modeled industrial-pollution burden resides in the top 3.5% nationally, and extreme heat lands in the top 8.6% nationally. Modeled fine-particle registers in the top 10.3% nationally, floodplain exposure sits in the top 11.0% nationally, and outer-floodplain exposure rests in the top 16% nationally. Fatal road crashes is in the top 16% nationally, and modeled mammography stands in the bottom 14.9% nationally. Recreation settles at the national minimum, shared with about 35% of ZIPs.
Weighed against the ZIPs nearby, park land runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. To translate a couple of terms, industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Fine-particle is fine airborne particles about one-thirtieth the width of a hair, counted on modeled days above the EPA standard. Extreme heat is a modeled count of days a year reaching a dangerously high temperature, a leading weather hazard. Overall, the nearest healthier neighbor is ZIP 74021, 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 0.63 years of 75.0, 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.
