Osawatomie, Kansas (ZIP 66064) ranks in the bottom 46% nationally (17,412th) and the bottom 47% of Kansas (364th).
A balanced set of signals defines this area, not any single one: mental-health providers lies in the top 5.4% nationally, and elder services is in the top 8.5% nationally. Subsidized affordable housing registers in the top 17% nationally. By contrast, floodplain exposure lies in the top 12.2% nationally, and crowded housing is in the top 15% nationally. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility registers at the national minimum, shared with about 31% of ZIPs. Modeled extreme heat lies in the top 16% nationally, modeled fine-particle is in the top 17% nationally, and outer-floodplain exposure registers in the top 18% nationally. Modeled transportation noise lies in the top 25% nationally.
Against its neighbors, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For context, 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. Fine-particle is fine airborne particles about one-thirtieth the width of a hair, counted on modeled days above the EPA standard. Floodplain exposure is land with about a 1-in-100 chance of flooding each year, nicknamed the "100-year floodplain". The closest ZIP that ranks healthier overall is ZIP 66026, 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 1.21 years of 75.2, 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.
