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.
Energy-cost burden
5.9%
in the top 3.1% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST99thUS97thDefinition & source ›
The modeled share of household income spent on home energy bills — electricity, gas, and heating fuels.
A modeled share of household income spent on home energy. Estimates that hit the model’s 100% ceiling are suppressed rather than published, because at that point the figure reflects the model’s limit rather than a measured burden.

The estimated share of women aged 50–74 who had a mammogram within the past two years.

Lower is healthier
ST85thUS93rdDefinition & source ›
The annual rate of fatal road crashes per 100,000 residents, pooled over a ten-year window.
A rate per resident population. Where a ZIP has too few residents for the rate to be reliable — about 30% of US ZIPs — no value is published rather than an unstable one; those ZIPs are absent from this comparison, not counted as crash-free.
Full methodology ›Hearing disability

The estimated share of adults who are deaf or have serious difficulty hearing.

Lower is healthier
ST90thUS90thDefinition & source ›
The share of this ZIP’s land area inside FEMA’s 1%-annual-chance floodplain — the “100-year” flood zone, where flooding has about a 1-in-100 chance in any given year.
Measured from FEMA’s mapped flood panels. Where a panel has not been mapped, no value is published for that ZIP — those ZIPs are absent from this comparison rather than counted as unexposed.
Full methodology ›Dry extreme heat
34.2 days/year

Full methodology ›The read
Rock Island, Oklahoma (ZIP 74932), overall, ranks in the bottom 11.4% nationally (28,423rd) and the bottom 34% of Oklahoma (420th).
Reading the numbers as a whole, the picture lands somewhere in between: childcare stands in the top 14.1% nationally. On the other side, modeled energy burden rests in the top 3.1% nationally, modeled mammography registers in the bottom 5.1% nationally, and fatal road crashes resides in the top 7.0% nationally. Modeled hearing disability settles in the top 8.7% nationally, and floodplain exposure is in the top 10.4% nationally. Modeled extreme heat sits in the top 13.5% nationally, and colon screening lands in the bottom 11.4% nationally. Slow internet speeds lies in the top 13.7% nationally, and modeled humid heat stands in the top 15% nationally.
Defined simply, energy burden is the share of household income that goes to home energy bills. Floodplain exposure is land with about a 1-in-100 chance of flooding each year, nicknamed the "100-year floodplain". Extreme heat is a modeled count of days a year reaching a dangerously high temperature, a leading weather hazard. ZIP 72937, just across the boundary, comes out healthier overall.

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 1.03 years of 77.4, 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.
