On the composite measure, Circleville, Kansas (ZIP 66416) stands in the bottom 48% nationally (16,692nd) and the top 48% of Kansas (330th).
A profile of give and take, with clear readings each way: modeled transportation noise resides in the bottom 6.3% nationally, and distance to a Superfund site stands in the top 9.6% nationally. Modeled loud transportation noise sits at the national minimum, shared with about 22% of ZIPs. Homeownership resides in the top 12.6% nationally, and modeled loneliness stands in the bottom 14.9% nationally. On the other side, crowded housing sits in the top 7.6% nationally, distance to a community health center resides in the top 7.9% nationally, and modeled extreme heat stands in the top 14.6% nationally. Walkability sits in the bottom 16% nationally, and modeled radon resides in the top 17% nationally.
For clarity, distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. Radon is a radioactive soil gas the EPA identifies as the top cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers. Transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to average road, rail, and air noise at or above 55 decibels. ZIP 66428, just across the boundary, ranks better overall among the ZIPs nearby.

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 1.44 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.
