By the composite health measure, Woodbine, Kansas (ZIP 67492) ranks in the bottom 28% nationally (23,103rd) and the bottom 12.7% of Kansas (596th).
A number of measures pull each way for this area: fiber broadband is at the national maximum, and modeled transportation noise settles in the bottom 5.1% nationally. Unemployment resides at the national minimum, shared with about 15% of ZIPs. Poverty registers in the bottom 14.0% nationally. Set against that, modeled radon rests in the top 10.1% nationally, extreme heat stands in the top 10.8% nationally, and obesity lies in the top 8.0% nationally. Outer-floodplain exposure lands in the top 13.9% nationally, modeled energy burden sits in the top 11.3% nationally, and crowded housing is in the top 15% nationally.
To spell things out, radon is a radioactive soil gas the EPA identifies as the top cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers. Transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to average road, rail, and air noise at or above 55 decibels. Extreme heat is a modeled count of days a year reaching a dangerously high temperature, a leading weather hazard. Close by, ZIP 66441, 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 1.38 years of 78.0, 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.
