Pharmacy access
1 per 1,000 residents

Higher is healthier
ST97thUS99thDefinition & source ›
The number of pharmacies located inside this ZIP’s boundary, per 1,000 residents.
Counted from establishments located inside this ZIP’s boundary, so one just across the line is not counted. Where a ZIP has too few residents for the density to be reliable, no value is published rather than an unreliable one.

Full methodology ›The read
By the composite measure, Kiowa, Kansas (ZIP 67070) sits in the top 37% healthiest ZIPs nationally (12,020th) and the top 24% of Kansas (161st).
The profile cuts both ways, and the readings bear that out: pharmacy lands in the top 1.0% nationally, modeled loneliness resides in the bottom 2.8% nationally, and fiber broadband lies in the top 3.5% nationally. Distance to a Superfund site settles in the top 6.2% nationally, and modeled transportation stands in the bottom 12.4% nationally. Distance to a nursing home is at the national minimum, shared with about 27% of ZIPs. Working the other way, modeled transportation noise rests in the top 4.4% nationally, and extreme heat sits in the top 6.9% nationally. Distance to a community health center registers in the top 10.5% nationally, and outer-floodplain exposure lands in the top 12.1% nationally.
In plain language, distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. Transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to average road, rail, and air noise at or above 55 decibels. Extreme heat is a modeled count of days a year reaching a dangerously high temperature, a leading weather hazard. ZIP 67057, 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 1.62 years of 76.6, 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.
