Full methodology ›The read
Whitesboro, Oklahoma (ZIP 74577), on the composite measure, lands in the bottom 7.7% nationally (29,613th) and the bottom 22% of Oklahoma (497th).
The main burdens in the data show plainly and lead the picture: modeled mammography settles in the bottom 2.5% nationally, home broadband subscription stands in the bottom 1.6% nationally, and distance to an emergency room is in the top 3.9% nationally. Modeled tooth loss rests in the top 6.8% nationally, mobility disability sits in the top 6.4% nationally, and hearing disability registers in the top 6.5% nationally. More positively, modeled pfas lands in the bottom 2.4% nationally, and tree cover resides in the top 5.0% nationally. Modeled transportation noise lies in the bottom 6.4% nationally, and industrial-pollution burden settles in the bottom 7.8% nationally.
In everyday language, pfas is the man-made "forever chemicals" that build up in the body and environment instead of breaking down; here a modeled estimate of the chance a private well contains them. Industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to average road, rail, and air noise at or above 55 decibels. A healthier neighbor overall sits at ZIP 74949, 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 1.65 years of 70.8, 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.
