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.

Full methodology ›The read
In its overall standing, St. Francis, Kansas (ZIP 67756) lands in the bottom 28% nationally (23,038th) and the bottom 13.4% of Kansas (591st), based on limited data; treat as directional.
Several serious readings shape the profile and deserve first mention: distance to a community health center lands in the top 0.9% nationally, modeled nitrate lies in the top 2.1% nationally, and slow internet speeds stands in the top 6.2% nationally. Modeled hearing disability rests in the top 7.0% nationally, and radon registers in the top 10.6% nationally. On the better side, modeled industrial-pollution burden resides in the bottom 1.1% nationally, and pharmacy settles in the top 4.6% nationally. Distance to an emergency room is at the national minimum, shared with about 11% of ZIPs. Dental providers sits in the top 6.1% nationally, and childcare lands in the top 9.7% nationally.
Put simply, industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. 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. On the overall standing, ZIP 67735, just across the boundary, ranks healthier.

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 1.39 years of 81.4, 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.
