Judged by its overall standing, Kechi, Kansas (ZIP 67067) sits in the top 16% healthiest ZIPs nationally (5,156th) and the top 6.9% of Kansas (47th).
A healthy showing across the board, and a few measures carry it: modeled tooth loss stands in the bottom 2.4% nationally, transportation resides in the bottom 9.9% nationally, and food insecurity sits in the bottom 12.2% nationally. Modeled independent living disability stands in the bottom 9.2% nationally, energy burden resides in the bottom 10.3% nationally, and fair or poor health sits in the bottom 11.5% nationally. On the other hand, modeled industrial-pollution burden stands in the top 10.5% nationally, and fine-particle resides in the top 10.5% nationally. Modeled extreme heat sits in the top 10.9% nationally, and distance to a Superfund site stands in the bottom 12.5% nationally.
Placed beside its immediate neighbors, park land runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Put plainly, 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 Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. A healthier nearby ZIP overall is ZIP 67226, 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 1.20 years of 79.0, 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.
