Full methodology ›The read
Overall, Garfield, Kansas (ZIP 67529) lands in the top 24% healthiest ZIPs nationally (7,547th) and the top 11.0% of Kansas (75th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
A number of measures place this area on solid footing: housing-cost burden is in the bottom 7.3% nationally, and poverty settles in the bottom 7.3% nationally. Fiber broadband resides in the top 9.0% nationally, and modeled transportation registers in the bottom 13.7% nationally. Modeled food insecurity rests in the bottom 14.1% nationally. Crowded housing stands at the national minimum, shared with about 29% of ZIPs. By contrast, modeled nitrate lies in the top 4.3% nationally, pfas lands in the top 4.9% nationally, and extreme heat sits in the top 9.3% nationally. Modeled tree cover is in the bottom 13.7% nationally.
A note on the terms: nitrate is a groundwater compound from fertilizer, manure, and sewage, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. Pfas is the man-made "forever chemicals" that build up in the body and environment instead of breaking down; here a modeled estimate of the chance a private well contains them. Extreme heat is a modeled count of days a year reaching a dangerously high temperature, a leading weather hazard. This ZIP stands out as the strongest overall among its immediate neighbors.

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 2.59 years of 76.3, 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.
