ST97thUS94thDefinition & source ›
The share of this ZIP’s land area inside FEMA’s 1%-annual-chance floodplain — the “100-year” flood zone, where flooding has about a 1-in-100 chance in any given year.
Measured from FEMA’s mapped flood panels. Where a panel has not been mapped, no value is published for that ZIP — those ZIPs are absent from this comparison rather than counted as unexposed.

Braggs, Oklahoma (ZIP 74423), by its composite score, sits in the bottom 22% nationally (25,072nd) and the top 36% of Oklahoma (227th).
The measures fall on both sides for this area, fairly evenly: modeled industrial-pollution burden stands in the bottom 13.7% nationally. Pulling the other way, floodplain exposure registers in the top 6.0% nationally, and home broadband subscription settles in the bottom 8.3% nationally. Poverty sits in the top 10.1% nationally, modeled extreme heat lies in the top 11.0% nationally, and modeled hearing disability rests in the top 10.9% nationally. Modeled mammography resides in the bottom 13.6% nationally, slow internet speeds is in the top 16% nationally, and modeled fine-particle lands in the top 17% nationally. Household income stands in the bottom 11.6% nationally.
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. Fine-particle is fine airborne particles about one-thirtieth the width of a hair, counted on modeled days above the EPA standard. Floodplain exposure is land with about a 1-in-100 chance of flooding each year, nicknamed the "100-year floodplain". For a healthier comparison close by, see ZIP 74454, about 11 miles away.

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 1.19 years of 75.3, 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.
