Judged by its overall standing, Afton, Oklahoma (ZIP 74331) sits in the bottom 17% nationally (26,635th) and the top 48% of Oklahoma (307th).
A few readings each way define this mixed profile: modeled binge drinking lands in the bottom 4.9% nationally. Pulling the other way, modeled hearing disability rests in the top 2.3% nationally, high cholesterol settles in the top 1.6% nationally, and mammography lands in the bottom 4.0% nationally. Modeled high blood pressure rests in the top 5.5% nationally, and coronary heart disease settles in the top 6.0% nationally. Modeled mobility disability lands in the top 8.7% nationally, and disaster risk rests in the top 8.5% nationally. Modeled fine-particle settles in the top 10.1% nationally, and stroke lands in the top 10.1% nationally.
Put plainly, disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Fine-particle is fine airborne particles about one-thirtieth the width of a hair, counted on modeled days above the EPA standard. A healthier nearby ZIP overall is ZIP 74344, 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 0.84 years of 76.3, 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.
