The lead level at the 90th percentile of tap-water samples reported by the public water systems serving this ZIP, in parts per billion — the EPA requires action above 15 ppb.
Measured from EPA records for the public water systems that serve this ZIP. Households on private wells — roughly 30% of the US population — are not covered by this measure, and this figure says nothing about their water.
Full methodology ›The read
By the composite measure, Englewood, Kansas (ZIP 67840) sits in the bottom 44% nationally (17,879th) and the bottom 43% of Kansas (389th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
The main burdens in the data show plainly and lead the picture: modeled hearing disability lies in the top 2.3% nationally, distance to a community health center settles in the top 1.9% nationally, and modeled coronary heart disease stands in the top 3.0% nationally. Modeled nitrate is in the top 3.3% nationally, distance to a nursing home rests in the top 4.7% nationally, and modeled tree cover sits at the national minimum. Lead in tap water registers in the top 6.5% nationally. More positively, fiber broadband lands at the national maximum, and modeled transportation noise resides at the national minimum. Modeled loneliness lies in the bottom 5.4% nationally.
In plain language, nitrate is a groundwater compound from fertilizer, manure, and sewage, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. Lead in tap water is the EPA trigger, 15 parts per billion in tap samples, above which a water system must act on lead. Distance to a community health center is a federally funded (HRSA) community health center serving everyone regardless of ability to pay. ZIP 67831, 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 2.55 years of 86.6, 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.
