The share of residents served by public water systems where PFOS, one of the most common “forever chemicals,” was detected in EPA testing.
Measured from EPA records for the public water systems that serve this ZIP. Households on private wells — roughly 30% of the US population — are not covered by this measure, and this figure says nothing about their water.
Full methodology ›The read
By the composite measure, ZIP 74078, one of several in Stillwater, Oklahoma sits in the bottom 45% nationally (17,553rd) and the top 12.2% of Oklahoma (77th).
What the numbers press hardest on defines much of the story here: modeled cognitive disability sits in the top 0.9% nationally, modeled loneliness registers in the top 0.8% nationally, and PFOS in drinking water lands at the national maximum. On the encouraging side, modeled diabetes resides in the bottom 0.3% nationally, coronary heart disease lies in the bottom 0.4% nationally, and stroke settles in the bottom 0.3% nationally. Modeled mobility disability stands in the bottom 0.5% nationally, and hearing disability is in the bottom 1.1% nationally. Modeled transportation noise rests at the national minimum, and self-care disability sits in the bottom 0.6% nationally.
Compared with the ZIPs that surround it, walkability runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In plain language, PFOS in drinking water is a common one of the man-made "forever chemicals" that build up in the body and environment instead of breaking down. Transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to average road, rail, and air noise at or above 55 decibels. ZIP 73027, about 6.8 miles away, ranks healthier overall.

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

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.
