Full methodology ›The read
ZIP 66207, one of several in Overland Park, Kansas, by its overall standing, sits in the top 3.5% healthiest ZIPs nationally (1,102nd) and the top 2.0% of Kansas (13th).
The profile opens balanced, with readings on either hand: modeled food insecurity stands in the bottom 0.6% nationally, transportation lands in the bottom 0.8% nationally, and loneliness is in the bottom 0.8% nationally. Modeled housing insecurity resides in the bottom 1.6% nationally, modeled short sleep rests in the bottom 2.5% nationally, and fatal road crashes lies in the bottom 5.0% nationally. Modeled fair or poor health sits in the bottom 2.2% nationally, and utility shutoff settles in the bottom 5.7% nationally. By contrast, modeled industrial-pollution burden registers in the top 3.3% nationally, and air-toxics cancer risk stands in the top 4.5% nationally.
Held up against its neighbors, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Defined in plain terms, industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people. The nearest ZIP ranking healthier overall is ZIP 66206, 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 0.70 years of 81.4, 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
