Full methodology ›The read
Judged by its overall standing, Hunter, Oklahoma (ZIP 74640) sits in the top 42% healthiest ZIPs nationally (13,360th) and the top 7.5% of Oklahoma (47th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
An even profile, with readings pulling both ways: modeled transportation noise registers at the national minimum, and housing-cost burden is in the bottom 4.8% nationally. Modeled loud transportation noise lies at the national minimum, shared with about 22% of ZIPs. Modeled loneliness registers in the bottom 11.6% nationally, and distance to a Superfund site is in the top 13.6% nationally. Modeled transportation lies in the bottom 15% nationally. Against that, modeled nitrate registers in the top 0.5% nationally, and extreme heat is in the top 6.2% nationally. Modeled mammography lies in the bottom 9.1% nationally, and distance to a nursing home registers in the top 14.1% nationally.
Put plainly, nitrate is a groundwater compound from fertilizer, manure, and sewage, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. Distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. Transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to average road, rail, and air noise at or above 55 decibels. A healthier nearby ZIP overall is ZIP 73738, 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 1.36 years of 79.2, 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.
