In overall standing, Muscotah, Kansas (ZIP 66058) comes out in the bottom 45% nationally (17,673rd) and the bottom 45% of Kansas (376th).
The data points to real strain across a number of measures here: modeled radon settles in the top 12.4% nationally, floodplain exposure registers in the top 10.7% nationally, and distance to a nursing home stands in the top 11.3% nationally. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility lands at the national minimum, shared with about 31% of ZIPs. On the brighter side, fiber broadband is at the national maximum, and modeled transportation noise resides at the national minimum. Housing-cost burden rests in the bottom 5.3% nationally. Modeled loud transportation noise lies at the national minimum, shared with about 22% of ZIPs. Distance to a Superfund site sits in the top 12.9% nationally. Crowded housing settles at the national minimum, shared with about 29% of ZIPs.
In plain terms, radon is a radioactive soil gas the EPA identifies as the top cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers. Distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. 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. The nearest healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 66023, 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 1.90 years of 82.1, 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.
