Measured from FEMA’s mapped flood panels. Where a panel has not been mapped, no value is published for that ZIP — those ZIPs are absent from this comparison rather than counted as unexposed.

Ozawkie, Kansas (ZIP 66070), on the composite measure, lands in the top 36% healthiest ZIPs nationally (11,428th) and the top 21% of Kansas (144th).
Where this area does well, the measures make it plain: homeownership lands in the top 6.5% nationally, modeled transportation noise resides in the bottom 13.5% nationally, and modeled transportation lies in the bottom 13.7% nationally. Crowded housing settles at the national minimum, shared with about 29% of ZIPs. Unemployment stands in the bottom 14.7% nationally, and modeled food insecurity is in the bottom 17% nationally. Against that, floodplain exposure rests in the top 6.7% nationally. Fiber broadband sits at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Modeled extreme heat registers in the top 14.7% nationally, and fine-particle lands in the top 14.9% nationally.
In everyday language, 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". Transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to average road, rail, and air noise at or above 55 decibels. A healthier neighbor overall sits at ZIP 66066, 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 1.37 years of 78.3, 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.
