Full methodology ›The read
Moscow, Kansas (ZIP 67952), overall, ranks in the bottom 39% nationally (19,635th) and the bottom 32% of Kansas (462nd), based on limited data; treat as directional.
Reading the numbers as a whole, the picture lands somewhere in between: distance to a Superfund site lies in the top 9.7% nationally, and modeled pfas stands in the bottom 12.9% nationally. Crowded housing rests at the national minimum, shared with about 29% of ZIPs. On the other side, modeled tree cover registers at the national minimum, and extreme heat resides in the top 7.9% nationally. Modeled nitrate settles in the top 8.1% nationally, and disaster risk is in the top 8.3% nationally. Walkability sits in the bottom 10.8% nationally, and modeled uninsured lands in the top 9.8% nationally. Slow internet speeds lies in the top 15% nationally.
Defined simply, nitrate is a groundwater compound from fertilizer, manure, and sewage, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. 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. ZIP 67859, just across the boundary, comes out 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 2.15 years of 81.5, 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.
