Full methodology ›The read
Preston, Oklahoma (ZIP 74456), on the composite measure, lands in the bottom 34% nationally (21,231st) and the top 20% of Oklahoma (128th).
The profile cuts both ways, and the readings bear that out: modeled expected annual loss registers in the bottom 2.8% nationally, floodplain exposure lands at the national minimum, and modeled disaster risk resides in the bottom 3.9% nationally. Households without a vehicle lies at the national minimum, shared with about 16% of ZIPs. Housing-cost burden settles in the bottom 9.4% nationally. Working the other way, home broadband subscription stands in the bottom 1.9% nationally, and modeled transportation noise is in the top 7.9% nationally. Crowded housing rests in the top 9.1% nationally, and modeled extreme heat sits in the top 9.3% nationally. Fiber broadband registers at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs.
Set against the neighboring ZIPs, walkability runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In everyday language, expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Floodplain exposure is land with about a 1-in-100 chance of flooding each year, nicknamed the "100-year floodplain". A healthier neighbor overall sits at ZIP 74008, 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 1.62 years of 76.6, 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
