Judged by its overall standing, ZIP 64165, one of several in Kansas City, Missouri sits in the top 17% healthiest ZIPs nationally (5,381st) and the top 3.8% of Missouri (37th).
A balanced showing across the data, with a few readings each side: poverty lands at the national minimum, homeownership rests at the national maximum, and home broadband subscription settles at the national maximum. Modeled mammography lands in the top 3.1% nationally, and disaster risk rests in the bottom 5.6% nationally. Households without a vehicle settles at the national minimum, shared with about 16% of ZIPs. Modeled energy burden lands in the bottom 7.2% nationally, and coronary heart disease rests in the bottom 8.7% nationally. On the other hand, modeled industrial-pollution burden settles in the top 5.8% nationally, and slow internet speeds lands in the top 9.8% nationally.
Placed beside its immediate neighbors, park land runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Put plainly, disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Energy burden is the share of household income that goes to home energy bills. A healthier nearby ZIP overall is ZIP 64154, 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 2.02 years of 80.4, 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.
