What defines this ZIP
Metrics where this ZIP sits in the tails of the national distribution — the ones that most set it apart. Select any tile for its definition and methodology.
Mental-health provider access
0.37 per 1,000 residents
in the top 1.5% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST98thUS99thDefinition & source ›
The number of mental-health clinics located 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 ›Grocery access
0.37 per 1,000 residents
in the top 2.7% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST98thUS97thDefinition & source ›
The number of full supermarkets 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. ZipVitals’s food-access signal is derived from these in-ZIP densities — it is not USDA’s food-desert designation, which measures distance to the nearest supermarket. Where a leg is missing, a ZIP reads “not determinable,” never “not a food desert.”
Full methodology ›Lithium in drinking water
9.5 µg/L
in the bottom 3.6% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST3rdUS4thDefinition & source ›
The average detected level of lithium — a natural trace metal with no federal drinking-water limit yet — across the public water systems serving this ZIP, in micrograms per liter.
Measured from EPA records for the public water systems that serve this ZIP. Households on private wells — roughly 30% of the US population — are not covered by this measure, and this figure says nothing about their water.
Full methodology ›Hearing disability
12.0%
in the top 4.5% nationally

ST76thUS96thDefinition & source ›
The estimated share of adults who are deaf or have serious difficulty hearing.

The estimated share of adults with serious difficulty walking or climbing stairs.

The average number of days per year with a modeled daily high of at least 95 °F.
Full methodology ›Nitrate in drinking water

in the top 5.8% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST61stUS94thDefinition & source ›
The modeled share of this area’s domestic-well groundwater at or above the federal nitrate limit of 10 milligrams per liter.
A modeled likelihood for untreated groundwater, the source drawn on by private wells, which are federally unregulated. It is not a measurement of treated water delivered by a public system, and it is not a test of any individual well.
Full methodology ›Mammography
67.4%
in the bottom 6.3% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST47thUS6thDefinition & source ›
The estimated share of women aged 50–74 who had a mammogram within the past two years.
Full methodology ›Distance to a Superfund site
71.9 mi
in the top 6.2% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST92ndUS94thDefinition & source ›
The distance in miles from this ZIP’s edge to the nearest Superfund site — an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has listed for cleanup.
Full methodology ›Binge drinking
11.9%
in the bottom 6.3% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST11thUS6thDefinition & source ›
The estimated share of adults who report binge drinking — five or more drinks on one occasion for men, four or more for women.
Full methodology ›The read
By its overall health score, Colbert, Oklahoma (ZIP 74733) lands in the bottom 7.3% nationally (29,733rd) and the bottom 20% of Oklahoma (505th).
Neither strongly one way nor the other, the measures sit mixed: mental-health providers lands in the top 1.5% nationally, and grocery registers in the top 2.7% nationally. Lithium in drinking water sits in the bottom 3.6% nationally, and distance to a Superfund site rests in the top 6.2% nationally. Modeled binge drinking is in the bottom 6.3% nationally. Against that, modeled hearing disability stands in the top 4.5% nationally, mobility disability settles in the top 5.8% nationally, and extreme heat lies in the top 5.5% nationally. Modeled nitrate resides in the top 5.8% nationally, and mammography lands in the bottom 6.3% nationally.
To translate a couple of terms, lithium in drinking water is a natural metal that dissolves into some groundwater and has no federal drinking-water limit yet. 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. Overall, the nearest healthier neighbor is ZIP 74720, just across the boundary.
What’s driving this score

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 1.57 years of 78.9, 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. How distance is measured
