The modeled probability that PFAS “forever chemicals” would be detected in untreated groundwater in this area, the source private wells draw on.
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 ›The read
In overall standing, St. Clair, Missouri (ZIP 63077) comes out in the bottom 20% nationally (25,513th) and the bottom 39% of Missouri (607th).
Both sides of the picture show up plainly in this area's numbers: childcare stands in the top 10.3% nationally, and pharmacy lands in the top 11.3% nationally. Distance to a nursing home is at the national minimum, shared with about 27% of ZIPs. Modeled arsenic resides in the bottom 14.0% nationally, and tree cover rests in the top 14.5% nationally. By contrast, modeled cognitive disability lies in the top 9.0% nationally. Fiber broadband sits at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Modeled loud transportation noise settles in the top 12.7% nationally, and fatal road crashes registers in the top 15% nationally. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility stands at the national minimum, shared with about 31% of ZIPs.
In plain terms, arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility is a plant handling large amounts of hazardous chemicals that must file an EPA risk-management plan for accidental releases. Loud transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to road, rail, and air noise at or above 65 decibels, near conversation volume. The nearest healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 63060, 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

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 0.76 years of 75.3, 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.
