By the composite health measure, Kincaid, Kansas (ZIP 66039) ranks in the bottom 19% nationally (25,868th) and the bottom 5.2% of Kansas (647th).
A number of measures pull each way for this area: modeled arsenic lies in the bottom 5.6% nationally, and industrial-pollution burden lands in the bottom 9.9% nationally. Set against that, modeled mammography sits in the bottom 2.6% nationally, and poverty is in the top 8.5% nationally. Fiber broadband settles at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Unemployment resides in the top 9.6% nationally, modeled colon screening registers in the bottom 9.3% nationally, and modeled tooth loss rests in the top 11.7% nationally. Modeled obesity stands in the top 9.8% nationally, and housing-cost burden lies in the top 15% nationally.
To spell things out, arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. Industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Close by, ZIP 66010, just across the boundary, ranks 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 1.53 years of 81.4, 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.
