Full methodology ›The read
Red Oak, Oklahoma (ZIP 74563), in overall standing, comes out in the bottom 11.3% nationally (28,470th) and the bottom 33% of Oklahoma (426th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
An even profile, with readings pulling both ways: modeled loud transportation noise rests at the national minimum, shared with about 22% of ZIPs. Modeled binge drinking settles in the bottom 9.9% nationally, arsenic lands in the bottom 11.6% nationally, and transportation noise rests in the bottom 13.4% nationally. Against that, modeled hearing disability settles in the top 3.3% nationally, and mobility disability lands in the top 9.3% nationally. Modeled coronary heart disease rests in the top 10.5% nationally, and mammography settles in the bottom 11.3% nationally. Distance to an emergency room lands in the top 13.1% nationally, and modeled extreme heat rests in the top 13.4% nationally.
Defined simply, for reference, arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. 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. Transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to average road, rail, and air noise at or above 55 decibels. The closest healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 74552, 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 1.63 years of 80.7, 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.
