The estimated share of adults who experienced food insecurity in the past 12 months.

ST1stUS1stDefinition & source ›
The distance in miles from this ZIP’s edge to the nearest Superfund site — an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has listed for cleanup.
Full methodology ›Dental provider access
1.4 per 1,000 residents
in the top 3.1% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST98thUS97thDefinition & source ›
The number of dental offices 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.

The estimated share of adults who lacked reliable transportation in the past 12 months.

Lower is healthier
ST99thUS99thDefinition & source ›
The share of residents served by public water systems where PFAS — man-made “forever chemicals” that build up in the body and environment instead of breaking down — were detected in EPA testing.
Measured from EPA records for the public water systems that serve this ZIP. Households on private wells — roughly 30% of the US population — are not covered by this measure, and this figure says nothing about their water.
Full methodology ›Short sleep
28.4%
in the bottom 4.0% nationally
Lower is healthier

The estimated share of adults who usually sleep less than seven hours in a 24-hour period.

Lower is healthier
ST95thUS95thDefinition & source ›
FEMA’s modeled estimate, in dollars per year, of the average harm to people expected from natural hazards — an annualized average, not a forecast for any single year.
Full methodology ›Obesity
26.3%
in the bottom 7.8% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST1stUS8thDefinition & source ›
The estimated share of adults with obesity, defined as a body-mass index of 30 or higher.
Full methodology ›Recreation access
1.1 per 1,000 residents
in the top 6.6% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST96thUS93rdDefinition & source ›
The number of places for physical recreation — gyms, sports, and fitness venues — 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
ZIP 63011, one of several in Ballwin, Missouri, by its composite score, sits in the top 5.5% healthiest ZIPs nationally (1,732nd) and the top 0.9% of Missouri (8th).
The measures fall on both sides for this area, fairly evenly: modeled food insecurity stands in the bottom 1.8% nationally, and dental providers registers in the top 3.1% nationally. Modeled transportation settles in the bottom 3.8% nationally, and housing insecurity sits in the bottom 4.0% nationally. Modeled short sleep lies in the bottom 4.0% nationally, modeled obesity rests in the bottom 7.8% nationally, and recreation resides in the top 6.6% nationally. Pulling the other way, distance to a Superfund site is at the national minimum, PFAS in drinking water lands at the national maximum, and modeled expected annual loss stands in the top 5.4% nationally.
Next to the surrounding area, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For anyone unfamiliar, distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. PFAS in drinking water is the family of man-made "forever chemicals" that build up in the body and environment instead of breaking down. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. For a healthier comparison close by, see ZIP 63005, 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

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.
