ST93rdUS99thDefinition & source ›
The modeled share of this area’s domestic-well groundwater at or above the federal nitrate limit of 10 milligrams per liter.
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.

Full methodology ›The read
Geuda Springs, Kansas (ZIP 67051) ranks in the bottom 36% nationally (20,505th) and the bottom 26% of Kansas (507th).
A number of readings press hard on the profile and set its tone: modeled nitrate stands in the top 1.2% nationally, and extreme heat sits in the top 8.6% nationally. Modeled fine-particle resides in the top 10.5% nationally, and industrial-pollution burden stands in the top 13.5% nationally. Modeled hearing disability sits in the top 13.5% nationally, and energy burden resides in the top 11.6% nationally. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility stands at the national minimum, shared with about 31% of ZIPs. On the brighter side, fiber broadband sits in the top 8.4% nationally, modeled transportation noise resides in the bottom 9.9% nationally, and housing-cost burden stands in the bottom 13.4% nationally.
For context, 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. Industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. The closest ZIP that ranks healthier overall is ZIP 67140, 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 1.21 years of 77.3, 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.
