Olivette, Missouri (ZIP 63132), on the composite measure, lands in the top 15.0% healthiest ZIPs nationally (4,783rd) and the top 3.4% of Missouri (33rd).
Where this area does well, the measures make it plain: lead in tap water lands at the national minimum, elder services resides in the top 5.1% nationally, and transit lies in the top 5.8% nationally. Outpatient settles in the top 6.6% nationally, civic stands in the top 6.9% nationally, and mental-health providers is in the top 7.5% nationally. Pharmacy rests in the top 7.8% nationally, and modeled mammography sits in the top 5.5% nationally. Against that, modeled air-toxics cancer risk registers in the top 4.5% nationally, and tree cover lands at the national minimum.
Set against the neighboring ZIPs, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In everyday language, air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people. Lead in tap water is the EPA trigger, 15 parts per billion in tap samples, above which a water system must act on lead. A healthier neighbor overall sits at ZIP 63124, 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 0.69 years of 79.9, 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. How distance is measured
