Full methodology ›The read
In its overall standing, ZIP 66062, one of several in Olathe, Kansas lands in the top 7.1% healthiest ZIPs nationally (2,274th) and the top 3.4% of Kansas (23rd).
Reading the numbers as a whole, the picture lands somewhere in between: subsidized affordable housing resides in the top 1.6% nationally, modeled stroke settles in the bottom 4.3% nationally, and modeled coronary heart disease is in the bottom 5.7% nationally. Modeled fair or poor health sits in the bottom 5.1% nationally, and mobility disability lands in the bottom 6.9% nationally. On the other side, modeled disaster risk lies in the top 0.9% nationally, and expected annual loss stands in the top 0.9% nationally. Lead in tap water rests in the top 2.4% nationally, and distance to a Superfund site registers in the bottom 6.0% nationally. Modeled industrial-pollution burden resides in the top 6.8% nationally.
Against the wider neighborhood, expected annual loss runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Put simply, 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. Lead in tap water is the EPA trigger, 15 parts per billion in tap samples, above which a water system must act on lead. On the overall standing, ZIP 66013, just across the boundary, ranks healthier.

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 0.52 years of 80.0, 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
