Several of the strongest readings define how this area looks: home broadband subscription lands at the national maximum. Unemployment settles at the national minimum, shared with about 15% of ZIPs. Modeled loneliness rests in the bottom 7.9% nationally. Households without a vehicle lands at the national minimum, shared with about 16% of ZIPs. Modeled transportation noise settles in the bottom 10.9% nationally. On the other hand, modeled nitrate rests in the top 4.9% nationally, distance to a community health center lands in the top 7.8% nationally, and modeled extreme heat settles in the top 8.8% nationally. Fiber broadband rests at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Modeled fine-particle lands in the top 11.7% nationally.

For clarity, 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. Distance to a community health center is a federally funded (HRSA) community health center serving everyone regardless of ability to pay. ZIP 67025, just across the boundary, ranks better overall among the ZIPs nearby.

Nearby & similar ZIPs

Editorially selected — see how this ZIP compares to nearby and similar places.

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 2.40 years of 80.8, 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.
