Mental-health provider access
1.1 per 1,000 residents

Higher is healthier
ST99thUS99thDefinition & source ›
The number of mental-health clinics 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.

Full methodology ›The read
Maywood, Missouri (ZIP 63454), overall, ranks in the bottom 39% nationally (19,416th) and the top 29% of Missouri (289th).
Several serious readings shape the profile and deserve first mention: mental-health providers sits in the top 0.2% nationally. On the better side, outpatient lands in the top 1.7% nationally, fatal road crashes lies at the national minimum, and housing-cost burden stands in the bottom 3.8% nationally. Poverty rests in the bottom 5.4% nationally. Unemployment registers at the national minimum, shared with about 15% of ZIPs. Homeownership resides in the top 7.6% nationally. Households without a vehicle settles at the national minimum, shared with about 16% of ZIPs. Modeled pfas is in the bottom 10.8% nationally. Crowded housing sits at the national minimum, shared with about 29% of ZIPs.
Measured against the nearby ZIPs, mental-health providers runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Defined 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. ZIP 63461, just across the boundary, comes out healthier overall.

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 0.94 years of 78.8, 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.
