Full methodology ›The read
Basehor, Kansas (ZIP 66007), overall, ranks in the top 20% healthiest ZIPs nationally (6,547th) and the top 9.3% of Kansas (63rd).
This area's strengths are easy to pick out across the measures: modeled loneliness lands in the bottom 7.3% nationally, household income lies in the top 9.2% nationally, and mental-health providers stands in the top 10.7% nationally. Modeled food insecurity rests in the bottom 11.0% nationally, transportation registers in the bottom 11.1% nationally, and fair or poor health resides in the bottom 14.6% nationally. Modeled independent living disability settles in the bottom 14.4% nationally. Working the other way, modeled industrial-pollution burden is in the top 8.6% nationally, and fine-particle sits in the top 14.9% nationally. Modeled extreme heat lands in the top 15% nationally.
Measured against the nearby ZIPs, park land runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Defined simply, industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Fine-particle is fine airborne particles about one-thirtieth the width of a hair, counted on modeled days above the EPA standard. Extreme heat is a modeled count of days a year reaching a dangerously high temperature, a leading weather hazard. ZIP 66226, about 3.2 miles away, 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 0.95 years of 79.7, 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
