Full methodology ›The read
Judged by its overall standing, Cheney, Kansas (ZIP 67025) sits in the top 39% healthiest ZIPs nationally (12,532nd) and the top 26% of Kansas (175th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
A few measures carry most of this area's good news: modeled transportation noise lies in the bottom 8.0% nationally. Distance to a nursing home registers at the national minimum, shared with about 27% of ZIPs. Recreation is in the top 15% nationally, and unemployment lies in the bottom 19% nationally. Set against that, modeled nitrate registers in the top 4.4% nationally, and extreme heat is in the top 8.9% nationally. Modeled fine-particle lies in the top 11.7% nationally. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility registers at the national minimum, shared with about 31% of ZIPs. Modeled arsenic is in the top 19% nationally, and distance to a community health center lies in the top 19% nationally.
Put plainly, nitrate is a groundwater compound from fertilizer, manure, and sewage, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. Fine-particle is fine airborne particles about one-thirtieth the width of a hair, counted on modeled days above the EPA standard. 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. A healthier nearby ZIP overall is ZIP 67050, 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 0.90 years of 80.0, 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.
