On balance, and by the composite measure, Talmage, Kansas (ZIP 67482) ranks in the top 31% healthiest ZIPs nationally (9,965th) and the top 16% of Kansas (109th).
The measures split the difference for this area: fiber broadband registers at the national maximum, and walkability sits in the top 1.1% nationally. Modeled expected annual loss rests in the bottom 1.7% nationally, and poverty is at the national minimum. Homeownership stands at the national maximum, and modeled loneliness settles in the bottom 2.8% nationally. Unemployment lies at the national minimum, shared with about 15% of ZIPs. Against that, outer-floodplain exposure resides in the top 2.2% nationally, home broadband subscription lands in the bottom 3.3% nationally, and housing-cost burden registers in the top 4.9% nationally.
Compared with the ZIPs it borders, walkability runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In plainer terms, expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Outer-floodplain exposure is land with a lower but real 1-in-500 chance of flooding each year, nicknamed the "500-year floodplain". For a healthier nearby ZIP overall, look to ZIP 66531, about 25 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 1.86 years of 80.1, 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.
