This area's pressures are easy to read across the measures: crowded housing is in the top 0.2% nationally, distance to a community health center sits in the top 6.8% nationally, and modeled transportation noise lands in the top 12.6% nationally. Modeled extreme heat lies in the top 12.9% nationally, and fine-particle stands in the top 17% nationally. On the brighter side, fatal road crashes rests at the national minimum, and housing-cost burden registers in the bottom 10.5% nationally. Poverty resides in the bottom 12.5% nationally, and unemployment settles in the bottom 17% nationally. Distance to a Superfund site is in the top 17% nationally.
Against the wider neighborhood, crowded housing runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Put simply, fine-particle is fine airborne particles about one-thirtieth the width of a hair, counted on modeled days above the EPA standard. Distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. Distance to a community health center is a federally funded (HRSA) community health center serving everyone regardless of ability to pay. On the overall standing, ZIP 66407, 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 1.14 years of 80.9, 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.
