Full methodology ›The read
Atlanta, Kansas (ZIP 67008), by its overall standing, sits in the bottom 38% nationally (19,856th) and the bottom 31% of Kansas (470th).
The measures fall on both sides of the ledger for this area: modeled transportation noise registers at the national minimum. Unemployment stands at the national minimum, shared with about 15% of ZIPs. Modeled loud transportation noise lands at the national minimum, shared with about 22% of ZIPs. Set against that, walkability is in the bottom 7.0% nationally, and crowded housing resides in the top 9.1% nationally. Distance to a nursing home rests in the top 9.4% nationally. Fiber broadband lies at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Modeled fine-particle sits in the top 10.0% nationally, modeled extreme heat settles in the top 10.8% nationally, and distance to a community health center registers in the top 13.4% nationally.
Defined in plain terms, fine-particle is fine airborne particles about one-thirtieth the width of a hair, counted on modeled days above the EPA standard. Transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to average road, rail, and air noise at or above 55 decibels. Extreme heat is a modeled count of days a year reaching a dangerously high temperature, a leading weather hazard. The nearest ZIP ranking healthier overall is ZIP 67039, 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 1.37 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.
