By the composite health measure, Fall River, Kansas (ZIP 67047) ranks in the bottom 32% nationally (21,852nd) and the bottom 18% of Kansas (559th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
A number of measures pull each way for this area: modeled industrial-pollution burden is in the bottom 8.6% nationally, and transportation noise settles in the bottom 9.4% nationally. Modeled loneliness resides in the bottom 10.9% nationally. Set against that, distance to a community health center registers in the top 6.6% nationally. Fiber broadband rests at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Distance to a nursing home stands in the top 10.6% nationally, modeled high cholesterol lies in the top 7.8% nationally, and modeled fine-particle lands in the top 11.7% nationally. Modeled hearing disability sits in the top 11.8% nationally, and extreme heat is in the top 12.7% nationally.
To spell things out, industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. 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 community health center is a federally funded (HRSA) community health center serving everyone regardless of ability to pay. Close by, ZIP 67137, just across the boundary, ranks healthier overall.

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 1.30 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.
