Close calls stay grayEvery figure has a margin of error. When the Kansas figure falls inside it, we don't call Buckeye better or worse.
Why a ZIP codeCDC publishes towns like Buckeye by ZIP code. We weight the ZIP codes that cover Buckeye by how much of its land each one covers.

CDC PLACES: Local Data for Better Health, 2025 release. The Kansas figure combines its counties, weighted by adult population.

Health estimates: CDC PLACES. Hospitals and star ratings: Medicare Care Compare (CMS). Health centers and shortage areas: HRSA. Town boundaries: U.S. Census Bureau.
