The read

By its overall health score, Battiest, Oklahoma (ZIP 74722) lands in the bottom 12.7% nationally (28,020th) and the bottom 37% of Oklahoma (400th).

The burdens that read clearest in the data come first: distance to an emergency room registers in the top 1.6% nationally, and distance to a nursing home sits in the top 2.5% nationally. Modeled mammography rests in the bottom 4.0% nationally, and home broadband subscription is in the bottom 4.3% nationally. Modeled colon screening stands in the bottom 7.2% nationally. Better still, modeled transportation noise settles at the national minimum, pfas lies in the bottom 3.1% nationally, and disaster risk resides in the bottom 4.9% nationally. Modeled arsenic lands in the bottom 6.2% nationally, and distance to a hazardous-chemical facility registers in the top 7.0% nationally.

To translate a couple of terms, 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. Disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. Overall, the nearest healthier neighbor is ZIP 74734, about 16 miles away.

Nearby & similar ZIPs

Editorially selected — see how this ZIP compares to nearby and similar places.

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 3.88 years of 89.0, and it’s very unlikely to be off by more than twice that.

Statistically similar ZIPs nationally

Similar means a ZIP whose health profile is shaped like this one’s — the same pattern of strengths and weaknesses across the nine health domains behind the Score, not similar demographics or income. The percentage is how closely the two patterns line up. A very similar ZIP can still have a different overall Score.

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
