Full methodology ›The read
Bucyrus, Kansas (ZIP 66013), on the composite measure, lands in the top 5.3% healthiest ZIPs nationally (1,687th) and the top 2.5% of Kansas (17th).
The profile cuts both ways, and the readings bear that out: household income registers in the top 2.6% nationally, modeled loneliness lands in the bottom 1.2% nationally, and modeled food insecurity resides in the bottom 1.5% nationally. Modeled transportation lies in the bottom 1.6% nationally, modeled housing insecurity settles in the bottom 2.9% nationally, and poverty stands in the bottom 6.0% nationally. Modeled short sleep is in the bottom 5.5% nationally, and fair or poor health rests in the bottom 4.3% nationally. Households without a vehicle sits at the national minimum, shared with about 16% of ZIPs. Working the other way, PFAS in drinking water registers at the national maximum.
Set against the neighboring ZIPs, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In everyday language, PFAS in drinking water is the family of man-made "forever chemicals" that build up in the body and environment instead of breaking down. A healthier neighbor overall sits at ZIP 66085, 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 1.53 years of 82.8, 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
