Full methodology ›The read
Overall, Milton, Kansas (ZIP 67106) places in the top 36% healthiest ZIPs nationally (11,591st) and the top 22% of Kansas (151st).
The measures land in both directions, and neither dominates: poverty sits at the national minimum, and home broadband subscription lies at the national maximum. Homeownership rests in the top 6.9% nationally. Unemployment resides at the national minimum, shared with about 15% of ZIPs. Modeled loneliness is in the bottom 10.9% nationally. Pulling the other way, modeled nitrate lands in the top 1.2% nationally, modeled extreme heat stands in the top 8.5% nationally, and distance to an emergency room registers in the top 8.8% nationally. Modeled mammography settles in the bottom 10.4% nationally, and fine-particle sits in the top 13.8% nationally.
For readers new to these terms, 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. Extreme heat is a modeled count of days a year reaching a dangerously high temperature, a leading weather hazard. Among nearby ZIPs, the nearest healthier one overall is ZIP 67031, 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 1.05 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.
