Nitrate in drinking water

100%

at the national maximum

Lower is healthier

ST99th
US99th
Definition & source ›

The modeled share of this area’s domestic-well groundwater at or above the federal nitrate limit of 10 milligrams per liter.

A modeled likelihood for untreated groundwater, the source drawn on by private wells, which are federally unregulated. It is not a measurement of treated water delivered by a public system, and it is not a test of any individual well.

Fiber broadband

100%

at the national maximum

Higher is healthier

ST99th

Definition & source ›

The share of homes where fiber-optic internet service is available.

Housing-cost burden

Definition & source ›

The share of households spending 30% or more of their income on housing.

Distance to a community health center

40.7 mi

Lower is healthier

ST93rd
US98th
Definition & source ›

The distance in miles from this ZIP’s edge to the nearest federally funded community health center, which serves patients regardless of ability to pay.

Transportation noise

0.00%

at the national minimum

Lower is healthier

ST1st
US1st
Definition & source ›

The modeled share of residents exposed to average road, rail, and aviation noise at or above 55 decibels — a noticeable background presence.

Home broadband subscription

at the national maximum

Higher is healthier

ST99th

Definition & source ›

The share of households with a broadband internet subscription.

ST1st

Definition & source ›

The share of this ZIP’s land area covered by forest.

Full methodology ›

Radon

3.1 pCi/L

in the top 8.9% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST71st
US91st
Definition & source ›

The modeled typical indoor radon level for this area, in picocuries per liter — the EPA recommends fixing a home at 4 pCi/L or above.

Modeled from indoor-radon measurements. In Alaska and Hawaii, where those measurements are not published, a US Geological Survey geologic radon-potential category stands in — a coarser input, disclosed rather than hidden.

Full methodology ›

Energy-cost burden

5.4%

in the top 5.6% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST97th
US94th
Definition & source ›

The modeled share of household income spent on home energy bills — electricity, gas, and heating fuels.

A modeled share of household income spent on home energy. Estimates that hit the model’s 100% ceiling are suppressed rather than published, because at that point the figure reflects the model’s limit rather than a measured burden.

Full methodology ›

PFAS in drinking water

10.1%

in the bottom 9.4% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST4th
US9th
Definition & source ›

The modeled probability that PFAS “forever chemicals” would be detected in untreated groundwater in this area, the source private wells draw on.

A modeled likelihood for untreated groundwater, the source drawn on by private wells, which are federally unregulated. It is not a measurement of treated water delivered by a public system, and it is not a test of any individual well.

The read

From what the available data documents, for Arnold, Kansas (ZIP 67515), health standing is not ranked here — the available data is too limited to place it confidently.

continue reading

On what has been documented so far, the readings are limited but real: fiber broadband is at the national maximum, housing-cost burden resides at the national minimum, and modeled transportation noise rests at the national minimum. Home broadband subscription lies at the national maximum. Unemployment sits at the national minimum, shared with about 15% of ZIPs. Working the other way, modeled nitrate settles at the national maximum, and distance to a community health center registers in the top 2.1% nationally. Modeled tree cover stands at the national minimum, and radon lands in the top 8.9% nationally. Modeled energy burden is in the top 5.6% nationally.

In plain terms, nitrate is a groundwater compound from fertilizer, manure, and sewage, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. Radon is a radioactive soil gas the EPA identifies as the top cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers. Distance to a community health center is a federally funded (HRSA) community health center serving everyone regardless of ability to pay.

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 0.68 years of 78.5, and it’s very unlikely to be off by more than twice that.
