On the composite measure, Lincolnville, Kansas (ZIP 66858) stands in the bottom 38% nationally (19,981st) and the bottom 30% of Kansas (475th).
A profile of give and take, with clear readings each way: fiber broadband lies in the top 8.8% nationally, and modeled industrial-pollution burden is in the bottom 8.8% nationally. Homeownership registers in the top 10.5% nationally, and housing-cost burden lies in the bottom 11.4% nationally. Crowded housing is at the national minimum, shared with about 29% of ZIPs. On the other side, distance to a community health center registers in the top 4.1% nationally, modeled transportation noise lies in the top 11.3% nationally, and modeled extreme heat is in the top 12.4% nationally. Modeled mammography registers in the bottom 13.6% nationally. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility lies at the national minimum, shared with about 31% of ZIPs.
For clarity, industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility is a plant handling large amounts of hazardous chemicals that must file an EPA risk-management plan for accidental releases. Distance to a community health center is a federally funded (HRSA) community health center serving everyone regardless of ability to pay. ZIP 66838, 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 0.73 years of 78.0, 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.
