The share of this ZIP’s land area inside FEMA’s 1%-annual-chance floodplain — the “100-year” flood zone, where flooding has about a 1-in-100 chance in any given year.
Measured from FEMA’s mapped flood panels. Where a panel has not been mapped, no value is published for that ZIP — those ZIPs are absent from this comparison rather than counted as unexposed.

On balance, and by the composite measure, Liberty, Kansas (ZIP 67351) ranks in the bottom 47% nationally (17,042nd) and the bottom 49% of Kansas (347th).
Strengths and concerns sit side by side across the measures here: housing-cost burden resides in the bottom 12.0% nationally. Crowded housing lands at the national minimum, shared with about 29% of ZIPs. Unemployment registers in the bottom 17% nationally. Outer-floodplain exposure sits at the national minimum, shared with about 36% of ZIPs. On the other hand, distance to an emergency room rests in the top 2.8% nationally, floodplain exposure is in the top 9.9% nationally, and modeled fine-particle stands in the top 10.1% nationally. Modeled extreme heat settles in the top 11.5% nationally. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility lies at the national minimum, shared with about 31% of ZIPs. Slow internet speeds resides in the top 19% nationally.
In plainer terms, 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 hazardous-chemical facility is a plant handling large amounts of hazardous chemicals that must file an EPA risk-management plan for accidental releases. Floodplain exposure is land with about a 1-in-100 chance of flooding each year, nicknamed the "100-year floodplain". For a healthier nearby ZIP overall, look to ZIP 67341, about 9.9 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 1.63 years of 81.9, 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.
