Full methodology ›The read
By the composite measure, ZIP 66061, one of several in Olathe, Kansas sits in the top 14.5% healthiest ZIPs nationally (4,646th) and the top 5.8% of Kansas (39th).
The profile cuts both ways, and the readings bear that out: subsidized affordable housing rests in the top 5.0% nationally. Distance to an emergency room sits at the national minimum, shared with about 11% of ZIPs. Distance to a community health center registers at the national minimum, shared with about 23% of ZIPs. Modeled coronary heart disease lands in the bottom 9.7% nationally. Working the other way, modeled disaster risk resides in the top 1.2% nationally, and expected annual loss lies in the top 1.5% nationally. Distance to a Superfund site settles at the national minimum, and lead in tap water stands in the top 3.6% nationally. Modeled industrial-pollution burden is in the top 5.2% nationally, and transportation noise rests in the top 7.3% nationally.
Compared with the ZIPs that surround it, expected annual loss runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In plain language, disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. ZIP 66031, 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 0.57 years of 78.9, 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
