The read
On the composite measure, Kemp, Oklahoma (ZIP 74747) stands in the bottom 9.3% nationally (29,098th) and the bottom 26% of Oklahoma (470th).
A balanced set of signals defines this area, not any single one: unemployment rests at the national minimum, shared with about 15% of ZIPs. Distance to a Superfund site lands in the top 7.4% nationally. By contrast, crowded housing settles in the top 3.3% nationally, modeled tooth loss rests in the top 6.8% nationally, and modeled mammography lands in the bottom 5.9% nationally. Modeled extreme heat settles in the top 5.4% nationally, households without a vehicle rests in the top 5.7% nationally, and distance to a community health center lands in the top 6.0% nationally. Home broadband subscription settles in the bottom 6.4% nationally, and floodplain exposure rests in the top 6.5% nationally.
For clarity, distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. Extreme heat is a modeled count of days a year reaching a dangerously high temperature, a leading weather hazard. Distance to a community health center is a federally funded (HRSA) community health center serving everyone regardless of ability to pay. ZIP 74741, just across the boundary, ranks better overall among the ZIPs nearby.

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 2.99 years of 83.1, 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.
