Full methodology ›The read
Shelbyville, Missouri (ZIP 63469), overall, ranks in the bottom 13.1% nationally (27,896th) and the bottom 24% of Missouri (759th).
Reading the numbers as a whole, the picture lands somewhere in between: housing-cost burden stands in the bottom 10.6% nationally, and modeled pfas rests in the bottom 10.8% nationally. Modeled loud transportation noise registers at the national minimum, shared with about 22% of ZIPs. On the other side, modeled hearing disability resides in the top 3.8% nationally, and cognitive disability settles in the top 7.5% nationally. Modeled tooth loss is in the top 8.6% nationally, and coronary heart disease sits in the top 7.7% nationally. Modeled mobility disability lands in the top 10.0% nationally, and independent living disability lies in the top 10.8% nationally. Distance to an emergency room stands in the top 11.3% nationally.
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. 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. ZIP 63437, 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 1.39 years of 76.0, 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.
