The number of physicians’ offices located inside this ZIP’s boundary, per 1,000 residents.

Full methodology ›The read
By the composite measure, Lansing, Kansas (ZIP 66043) sits in the top 25% healthiest ZIPs nationally (7,985th) and the top 12.1% of Kansas (82nd).
Reading across the measures, this area's clearest strengths come through: physicians rests in the top 12.8% nationally. Distance to a nursing home sits at the national minimum, shared with about 27% of ZIPs. Subsidized affordable housing registers in the top 16% nationally, and home broadband subscription lands in the top 16% nationally. Modeled loneliness resides in the bottom 17% nationally, and stroke lies in the bottom 15.0% nationally. Fatal road crashes settles in the bottom 18% nationally. By contrast, modeled industrial-pollution burden stands in the top 13.4% nationally, and extreme heat is in the top 15% nationally. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility rests at the national minimum, shared with about 31% of ZIPs.
In plain language, industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility is a plant handling large amounts of hazardous chemicals that must file an EPA risk-management plan for accidental releases. Extreme heat is a modeled count of days a year reaching a dangerously high temperature, a leading weather hazard. ZIP 64079, about 0.6 miles away, 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 0.94 years of 79.1, 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
