Full methodology ›The read
By the composite measure, Ramona, Kansas (ZIP 67475) sits in the bottom 29% nationally (22,915th) and the bottom 14.0% of Kansas (587th).
The profile cuts both ways, and the readings bear that out: fiber broadband lands in the top 4.8% nationally, and housing-cost burden resides in the bottom 6.3% nationally. Households without a vehicle lies at the national minimum, shared with about 16% of ZIPs. Working the other way, modeled loud transportation noise settles in the top 2.7% nationally, and distance to a community health center stands in the top 6.5% nationally. Modeled transportation noise is in the top 7.9% nationally, and colon screening rests in the bottom 8.2% nationally. Modeled radon sits in the top 11.4% nationally, and slow internet speeds registers in the top 11.0% nationally. Modeled hearing disability lands in the top 10.9% nationally.
In plain language, radon is a radioactive soil gas the EPA identifies as the top cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers. Loud transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to road, rail, and air noise at or above 65 decibels, near conversation volume. Distance to a community health center is a federally funded (HRSA) community health center serving everyone regardless of ability to pay. ZIP 66858, just across the boundary, ranks healthier overall.

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 0.69 years of 77.9, 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.
