Where this area is stretched, the data is unambiguous: modeled disaster risk lies in the top 1.7% nationally, mammography settles in the bottom 2.9% nationally, and obesity stands in the top 2.8% nationally. Modeled mobility disability is in the top 7.5% nationally, modeled cognitive disability rests in the top 7.8% nationally, and slow internet speeds sits in the top 7.5% nationally. Modeled independent living disability registers in the top 8.4% nationally, and utility shutoff lands in the top 8.2% nationally. Modeled expected annual loss resides in the top 8.8% nationally. Better still, distance to an emergency room lies at the national minimum, shared with about 11% of ZIPs.

In plain language, disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. ZIP 74010, just across the boundary, ranks healthier overall.

Nearby & similar ZIPs

Editorially selected — see how this ZIP compares to nearby and similar places.

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 0.57 years of 72.8, 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.
