Judged by its overall standing, Grenola, Kansas (ZIP 67346) sits in the bottom 15% nationally (27,145th) and the bottom 3.3% of Kansas (660th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
The profile carries real weight, and several readings make that plain: modeled hearing disability lies in the top 2.6% nationally, modeled coronary heart disease registers in the top 3.0% nationally, and distance to a community health center is in the top 5.3% nationally. Modeled stroke lies in the top 7.8% nationally, modeled mobility disability registers in the top 9.3% nationally, and distance to a nursing home is in the top 9.5% nationally. Fiber broadband lies at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Modeled fine-particle registers in the top 9.7% nationally. Better still, modeled transportation noise is at the national minimum. Unemployment lies at the national minimum, shared with about 15% of ZIPs.
Put plainly, fine-particle is fine airborne particles about one-thirtieth the width of a hair, counted on modeled days above the EPA standard. Transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to average road, rail, and air noise at or above 55 decibels. Distance to a community health center is a federally funded (HRSA) community health center serving everyone regardless of ability to pay. A healthier nearby ZIP overall is ZIP 67023, 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 0.95 years of 77.4, 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.
