In overall standing, Dearing, Kansas (ZIP 67340) comes out in the bottom 41% nationally (18,980th) and the bottom 36% of Kansas (439th).
The profile opens balanced, with readings on either hand: modeled disaster risk resides in the bottom 3.9% nationally, modeled expected annual loss rests in the bottom 6.3% nationally, and walkability lies in the top 16% nationally. By contrast, distance to an emergency room sits in the top 3.3% nationally. Fiber broadband settles at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Modeled transportation noise registers in the top 10.0% nationally, and extreme heat stands in the top 11.3% nationally. Unemployment lands in the top 12.1% nationally, and modeled fine-particle is in the top 12.9% nationally. Modeled mammography resides in the bottom 13.6% nationally.
In plain 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. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Fine-particle is fine airborne particles about one-thirtieth the width of a hair, counted on modeled days above the EPA standard. The nearest healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 67364, 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 1.50 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.
