Full methodology ›The read
In its overall standing, ZIP 67211, one of several in Wichita, Kansas lands in the bottom 8.6% nationally (29,335th) and the bottom 1.4% of Kansas (673rd).
Reading the numbers as a whole, the picture lands somewhere in between: subsidized affordable housing settles in the top 3.8% nationally, and walkability is in the top 4.7% nationally. On the other side, modeled colon screening sits in the bottom 5.2% nationally, industrial-pollution burden lands in the top 4.8% nationally, and tree cover lies at the national minimum. Modeled utility shutoff stands in the top 4.8% nationally, and mammography rests in the bottom 5.5% nationally. Modeled transportation noise registers in the top 5.2% nationally, and uninsured resides in the top 6.5% nationally. Outer-floodplain exposure settles in the top 5.8% nationally.
Against the wider neighborhood, outer-floodplain exposure runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Put simply, industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Subsidized affordable housing is the main federal tax-credit program (HUD) funding affordable rental housing, counted as local units it supports. Transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to average road, rail, and air noise at or above 55 decibels. On the overall standing, ZIP 67202, just across the boundary, ranks healthier.

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 0.64 years of 73.6, 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. How distance is measured
