Full methodology ›The read
Judged by its overall standing, La Harpe, Kansas (ZIP 66751) sits in the bottom 39% nationally (19,650th) and the bottom 32% of Kansas (464th).
An even profile, with readings pulling both ways: modeled industrial-pollution burden sits in the bottom 13.7% nationally, housing-cost burden stands in the bottom 13.9% nationally, and fiber broadband resides in the top 14.1% nationally. Modeled loneliness sits in the bottom 14.9% nationally, and disaster risk stands in the bottom 15% nationally. Against that, modeled mammography resides in the bottom 5.0% nationally, and extreme heat sits in the top 16% nationally. Distance to an emergency room stands in the top 16% nationally, and unemployment resides in the top 17% nationally. Modeled fine-particle sits in the top 17% nationally.
Put plainly, industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Fine-particle is fine airborne particles about one-thirtieth the width of a hair, counted on modeled days above the EPA standard. A healthier nearby ZIP overall is ZIP 66732, 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 0.76 years of 76.9, 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.
