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 its overall standing, Wellsville, Missouri (ZIP 63384) lands in the bottom 17% nationally (26,520th) and the bottom 32% of Missouri (677th).
This area's measures are easy to read as a mixed set: modeled pfas is in the bottom 2.2% nationally, childcare sits in the top 7.5% nationally, and civic lands in the top 10.0% nationally. Distance to a nursing home lies at the national minimum, shared with about 27% of ZIPs. Set against that, distance to an emergency room stands in the top 4.6% nationally, and modeled hearing disability rests in the top 8.0% nationally. Modeled cognitive disability registers in the top 11.1% nationally, and mammography resides in the bottom 10.7% nationally. Slow internet speeds settles in the top 13.0% nationally, and modeled tooth loss is in the top 12.4% nationally.
Put simply, pfas is the man-made "forever chemicals" that build up in the body and environment instead of breaking down; here a modeled estimate of the chance a private well contains them. On the overall standing, ZIP 63352, just across the boundary, ranks healthier.

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 1.26 years of 76.6, 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.
