Taken together, the data gives a genuinely mixed reading: unemployment resides at the national minimum, shared with about 15% of ZIPs. On the other side, modeled nitrate settles in the top 1.2% nationally, modeled hearing disability is in the top 3.3% nationally, and home broadband subscription sits in the bottom 3.5% nationally. Modeled extreme heat lands in the top 7.2% nationally, and floodplain exposure lies in the top 8.3% nationally. Modeled fine-particle stands in the top 8.6% nationally, and high cholesterol rests in the top 6.0% nationally. Modeled coronary heart disease registers in the top 8.3% nationally, and high blood pressure resides in the top 9.6% 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. Fine-particle is fine airborne particles about one-thirtieth the width of a hair, counted on modeled days above the EPA standard. Extreme heat is a modeled count of days a year reaching a dangerously high temperature, a leading weather hazard. ZIP 67140, just across the boundary, comes out healthier overall.

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 1.51 years of 77.3, 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.
