Full methodology ›The read
ZIP 74129, one of several in Tulsa, Oklahoma, by its composite score, sits in the bottom 8.2% nationally (29,466th) and the bottom 22% of Oklahoma (492nd).
The measures fall on both sides for this area, fairly evenly: modeled uninsured lies in the top 3.7% nationally. Pulling the other way, modeled cognitive disability rests in the top 4.1% nationally, and colon screening resides in the bottom 5.4% nationally. Modeled utility shutoff is in the top 4.7% nationally, vision disability lands in the top 6.6% nationally, and industrial-pollution burden stands in the top 5.0% nationally. Modeled tooth loss registers in the top 6.7% nationally, modeled food insecurity settles in the top 5.3% nationally, and outer-floodplain exposure sits in the top 5.4% nationally. Modeled housing insecurity lies in the top 5.4% nationally.
Next to the surrounding area, outer-floodplain exposure runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For anyone unfamiliar, industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Outer-floodplain exposure is land with a lower but real 1-in-500 chance of flooding each year, nicknamed the "500-year floodplain".

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 0.64 years of 75.6, 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. How distance is measured
