A modeled likelihood for untreated groundwater, the source drawn on by private wells, which are federally unregulated. It is not a measurement of treated water delivered by a public system, and it is not a test of any individual well.

Overall, Andover, Kansas (ZIP 67002) places in the top 13.2% healthiest ZIPs nationally (4,216th) and the top 5.2% of Kansas (35th).
The clearest bright points in the data come first here: distance to an emergency room is at the national minimum, shared with about 11% of ZIPs. Modeled stroke lands in the bottom 5.4% nationally, and transportation stands in the bottom 8.7% nationally. Modeled coronary heart disease registers in the bottom 7.0% nationally, fair or poor health settles in the bottom 6.6% nationally, and food insecurity sits in the bottom 9.8% nationally. Modeled self-care disability lies in the bottom 5.6% nationally, and independent living disability rests in the bottom 7.5% nationally. By contrast, modeled pfas resides in the top 5.9% nationally, and expected annual loss is in the top 8.1% nationally.
Beside the areas that surround it, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For readers new to these terms, pfas is the man-made "forever chemicals" that build up in the body and environment instead of breaking down; here a modeled estimate of the chance a private well contains them. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Among nearby ZIPs, the nearest healthier one overall is ZIP 67228, just across the boundary. Further still, the area also sits on the healthier half of the national range on at least seven of the ten good-life measures tracked here, from quiet and green space to nearby care, a combination reached by about one in twenty-five US ZIP codes.

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 0.62 years of 79.0, 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. How distance is measured
