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.

Full methodology ›The read
Judged by its overall standing, Whitefield, Oklahoma (ZIP 74472) sits in the bottom 17% nationally (26,509th) and the top 47% of Oklahoma (301st).
The profile carries real weight, and several readings make that plain: modeled mammography lands in the bottom 5.3% nationally, extreme heat rests in the top 11.2% nationally, and hearing disability settles in the top 10.9% nationally. Poverty lands in the top 11.8% nationally, unemployment rests in the top 13.8% nationally, and modeled obesity settles in the top 12.1% nationally. Better still, childcare lands in the top 0.5% nationally, and modeled industrial-pollution burden rests in the bottom 1.9% nationally. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility settles in the top 6.1% nationally. Modeled loud transportation noise lands at the national minimum, shared with about 22% of ZIPs.
Placed beside its immediate neighbors, childcare runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Put plainly, industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility is a plant handling large amounts of hazardous chemicals that must file an EPA risk-management plan for accidental releases. Loud transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to road, rail, and air noise at or above 65 decibels, near conversation volume. A healthier nearby ZIP overall is ZIP 74425, about 17 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 2.20 years of 85.9, 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.
