The number of child day-care services inside this ZIP’s boundary, per 1,000 residents.
Counted from establishments located inside this ZIP’s boundary, so one just across the line is not counted. Where a ZIP has too few residents for the density to be reliable, no value is published rather than an unreliable one.

Welch, Oklahoma (ZIP 74369), on the composite measure, lands in the bottom 11.1% nationally (28,530th) and the bottom 32% of Oklahoma (432nd).
The readings split fairly evenly between strengths and concerns: childcare resides in the top 1.6% nationally. Distance to a community health center lies at the national minimum, shared with about 23% of ZIPs. Working the other way, modeled hearing disability settles in the top 3.8% nationally, and mammography stands in the bottom 6.3% nationally. Modeled mobility disability is in the top 8.4% nationally, and home broadband subscription rests in the bottom 8.5% nationally. Modeled fine-particle sits in the top 8.6% nationally, and high blood pressure registers in the top 9.2% nationally. Modeled coronary heart disease lands in the top 9.7% nationally, and high cholesterol resides in the top 9.4% nationally.
In everyday language, fine-particle is fine airborne particles about one-thirtieth the width of a hair, counted on modeled days above the EPA standard. Distance to a community health center is a federally funded (HRSA) community health center serving everyone regardless of ability to pay. A healthier neighbor overall sits at ZIP 67332, 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 1.55 years of 78.9, 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.
