Full methodology ›The read
Grantville, Kansas (ZIP 66429) ranks in the top 32% healthiest ZIPs nationally (10,415th) and the top 17% of Kansas (119th).
A balanced set of signals defines this area, not any single one: poverty rests at the national minimum, and homeownership lands at the national maximum. Unemployment settles at the national minimum, shared with about 15% of ZIPs. Households without a vehicle rests at the national minimum, shared with about 16% of ZIPs. Housing-cost burden lands in the bottom 8.1% nationally, and modeled disaster risk settles in the bottom 9.4% nationally. By contrast, modeled transportation noise rests in the top 1.6% nationally, modeled loud transportation noise lands in the top 2.4% nationally, and outer-floodplain exposure settles in the top 5.6% nationally. Floodplain exposure rests in the top 8.9% nationally.
Against its neighbors, transportation noise runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For context, disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to average road, rail, and air noise at or above 55 decibels. Loud transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to road, rail, and air noise at or above 65 decibels, near conversation volume. The closest ZIP that ranks healthier overall is ZIP 66512, 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 1.66 years of 79.6, 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.
