Mental-health provider access

Higher is healthier
ST99thUS99thDefinition & source ›
The number of mental-health clinics located inside this ZIP’s boundary, per 1,000 residents.
Counted from establishments located inside this ZIP’s boundary, so one just across the line is not counted. Where a ZIP has too few residents for the density to be reliable, no value is published rather than an unreliable one.

Full methodology ›The read
Johnson, Kansas (ZIP 67855), on the composite measure, lands in the bottom 39% nationally (19,469th) and the bottom 33% of Kansas (455th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
Where this area is stretched, the data is unambiguous: modeled uninsured registers in the top 5.0% nationally, tree cover lands at the national minimum, and disaster risk resides in the top 5.4% nationally. Better still, mental-health providers lies in the top 0.8% nationally, pharmacy settles in the top 0.8% nationally, and modeled pfas stands in the bottom 2.2% nationally. Housing-cost burden is in the bottom 4.8% nationally. Distance to an emergency room rests at the national minimum, shared with about 11% of ZIPs. Distance to a Superfund site sits in the top 5.6% nationally, and poverty registers in the bottom 6.2% nationally.
Set against the neighboring ZIPs, mental-health providers runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In everyday language, 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. Disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. A healthier neighbor overall sits at ZIP 67878, just across the boundary.

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 2.69 years of 87.5, 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.
