By its overall health score, ZIP 67227, one of several in Wichita, Kansas lands in the top 16% healthiest ZIPs nationally (4,991st) and the top 6.4% of Kansas (43rd).
Neither strongly one way nor the other, the measures sit mixed: poverty settles at the national minimum, and homeownership lies at the national maximum. Modeled transportation resides in the bottom 4.4% nationally, and disaster risk lands in the bottom 6.1% nationally. Modeled food insecurity registers in the bottom 7.0% nationally. Unemployment sits at the national minimum, shared with about 15% of ZIPs. Households without a vehicle rests at the national minimum, shared with about 16% of ZIPs. Modeled colon screening is in the top 6.8% nationally. Against that, crowded housing stands in the top 0.4% nationally, and modeled extreme heat settles in the top 8.6% nationally.
Weighed against the ZIPs nearby, crowded housing runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. To translate a couple of terms, disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Extreme heat is a modeled count of days a year reaching a dangerously high temperature, a leading weather hazard. Overall, the nearest healthier neighbor is ZIP 67205, about 5.1 miles away.

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 2.83 years of 84.6, 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.
