Full methodology ›The read
On the composite measure, ZIP 74117, one of several in Tulsa, Oklahoma stands in the bottom 16% nationally (27,045th) and the bottom 47% of Oklahoma (338th).
A number of readings press hard on the profile and set its tone: housing-cost burden stands in the top 2.5% nationally, and floodplain exposure sits in the top 2.6% nationally. Modeled uninsured resides in the top 4.9% nationally, and slow internet speeds stands in the top 3.6% nationally. Modeled industrial-pollution burden sits in the top 4.0% nationally, modeled transportation noise resides in the top 4.5% nationally, and outer-floodplain exposure stands in the top 6.3% nationally. On the brighter side, poverty sits at the national minimum, and home broadband subscription resides at the national maximum. Unemployment stands at the national minimum, shared with about 15% of ZIPs.
Set beside the wider area around it, slow internet speeds runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For clarity, industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Floodplain exposure is land with about a 1-in-100 chance of flooding each year, nicknamed the "100-year floodplain". Transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to average road, rail, and air noise at or above 55 decibels. ZIP 74055, just across the boundary, ranks better overall among the ZIPs nearby.

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 1.36 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.
