What defines this ZIP

Metrics where this ZIP sits in the tails of the national distribution — the ones that most set it apart. Select any tile for its definition and methodology.

Pharmacy access

1.9 per 1,000 residents

in the top 0.2% nationally

Higher is healthier

ST99th
US99th
Definition & source ›

The number of pharmacies 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 ›

Fatal road crashes

59.6 per 100,000 residents per year

in the top 2.3% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST99th
US98th
Definition & source ›

The annual rate of fatal road crashes per 100,000 residents, pooled over a ten-year window.

A rate per resident population. Where a ZIP has too few residents for the rate to be reliable — about 30% of US ZIPs — no value is published rather than an unstable one; those ZIPs are absent from this comparison, not counted as crash-free.

Full methodology ›

Nitrate in drinking water

4.1%

in the top 4.6% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST70th
US95th
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.

Full methodology ›

Radon

3.1 pCi/L

in the top 8.8% 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 ›

Loud transportation noise

2.0%

in the top 7.4% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST96th
US93rd
Definition & source ›

The modeled share of residents exposed to average road, rail, and aviation noise at or above 65 decibels — around the volume of normal conversation.

Full methodology ›

Industrial-pollution burden

in the bottom 8.3% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST13th
US8th
Definition & source ›

The EPA’s modeled screening score for industrial chemical releases, weighting the amounts released by their toxicity and how many people live nearby — a relative comparison score, not a measured exposure.

Full methodology ›

Dry extreme heat

53.5 days/year

in the top 8.4% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST95th
US92nd
Definition & source ›

The average number of days per year with a modeled daily high of at least 95 °F.

Full methodology ›

Walkability

2.4 intersections/sq mi

in the bottom 9.9% nationally

Higher is healthier

ST13th
US10th
Definition & source ›

The number of street intersections per square mile — a standard street-connectivity measure; denser networks correlate with more walkable neighborhoods.

Full methodology ›

Transportation noise

9.1%

in the top 10.1% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST94th
US90th
Definition & source ›

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

The read

On balance, and by the composite measure, Minneola, Kansas (ZIP 67865) ranks in the top 43% healthiest ZIPs nationally (13,906th) and the top 33% of Kansas (226th), based on limited data; treat as directional.

Neither strongly one way nor the other, the measures sit mixed: pharmacy lies in the top 0.2% nationally. Distance to an emergency room resides at the national minimum, shared with about 11% of ZIPs. Modeled industrial-pollution burden lands in the bottom 8.3% nationally. Against that, fatal road crashes registers in the top 2.3% nationally, modeled nitrate sits in the top 4.6% nationally, and modeled radon rests in the top 8.8% nationally. Modeled loud transportation noise is in the top 7.4% nationally, modeled extreme heat stands in the top 8.4% nationally, and walkability settles in the bottom 9.9% nationally. Modeled transportation noise lies in the top 10.1% nationally.

Compared with the ZIPs it borders, pharmacy runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In plainer 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. Industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. For a healthier nearby ZIP overall, look to ZIP 67842, just across the boundary.

“Share” is how much of this ZIP’s score the domain accounts for. Percentages are rounded; higher is healthier in every domain. How the score works, and who it compares you with ›

Nearby & similar ZIPs

Editorially selected — see how this ZIP compares to nearby and similar places.

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 1.52 years of 81.8, 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.
