Lithium in drinking water
99 µg/L
in the top 2.4% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST99thUS98thDefinition & source ›
The average detected level of lithium — a natural trace metal with no federal drinking-water limit yet — across the public water systems serving this ZIP, in micrograms per liter.
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 ›Floodplain exposure
41.6%
in the top 5.8% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST95thUS94thDefinition & source ›
The share of this ZIP’s land area inside FEMA’s 1%-annual-chance floodplain — the “100-year” flood zone, where flooding has about a 1-in-100 chance in any given year.
Measured from FEMA’s mapped flood panels. Where a panel has not been mapped, no value is published for that ZIP — those ZIPs are absent from this comparison rather than counted as unexposed.
Full methodology ›Binge drinking
18.3%
in the top 16% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST94thUS84thDefinition & source ›
The estimated share of adults who report binge drinking — five or more drinks on one occasion for men, four or more for women.

Full methodology ›The read
On the composite measure, Winfield, Missouri (ZIP 63389) stands in the bottom 32% nationally (21,700th) and the top 41% of Missouri (405th).
A profile of give and take, with clear readings each way: elder services settles in the top 11.0% nationally. On the other side, lithium in drinking water rests in the top 2.4% nationally, and floodplain exposure lands in the top 5.8% nationally. Modeled cognitive disability settles in the top 14.1% nationally, and crowded housing rests in the top 16% nationally. Recreation lands at the national minimum, shared with about 35% of ZIPs. Modeled binge drinking settles in the top 16% nationally, lead in tap water rests in the top 20% nationally, and modeled short sleep lands in the top 19% nationally. Modeled extreme heat settles in the top 22% nationally.
For clarity, lithium in drinking water is a natural metal that dissolves into some groundwater and has no federal drinking-water limit yet. Lead in tap water is the EPA trigger, 15 parts per billion in tap samples, above which a water system must act on lead. Floodplain exposure is land with about a 1-in-100 chance of flooding each year, nicknamed the "100-year floodplain". ZIP 62006, just across the boundary, ranks better overall among the ZIPs nearby.

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 0.63 years of 76.7, 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
