Full methodology ›The read
Judged by its overall standing, Bentley, Kansas (ZIP 67016) sits in the top 48% healthiest ZIPs nationally (15,394th) and the top 41% of Kansas (281st).
A few measures carry most of this area's good news: fiber broadband resides in the top 3.0% nationally, modeled disaster risk sits in the bottom 3.5% nationally, and modeled expected annual loss stands in the bottom 5.9% nationally. Modeled loud transportation noise resides at the national minimum, shared with about 22% of ZIPs. Modeled transportation noise sits in the bottom 11.1% nationally. Set against that, floodplain exposure stands in the top 3.8% nationally, and unemployment resides in the top 4.5% nationally. Modeled tree cover sits at the national minimum, and extreme heat stands in the top 9.9% nationally. Modeled industrial-pollution burden resides in the top 11.3% nationally.
Placed beside its immediate neighbors, outer-floodplain exposure runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Put plainly, disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. A healthier nearby ZIP overall is ZIP 67135, 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 1.54 years of 77.9, 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.
