In overall standing, Callao, Missouri (ZIP 63534) comes out in the bottom 26% nationally (23,700th) and the bottom 50% of Missouri (500th).
Both sides of the picture show up plainly in this area's numbers: distance to a Superfund site sits in the top 6.4% nationally, and housing-cost burden settles in the bottom 16% nationally. By contrast, home broadband subscription registers in the bottom 3.2% nationally, lead in tap water stands in the top 8.0% nationally, and slow internet speeds lands in the top 8.7% nationally. Walkability is in the bottom 13.0% nationally, and household income resides in the bottom 7.2% nationally. Floodplain exposure rests in the top 14.8% nationally, and modeled hearing disability lies in the top 15% nationally. Recreation sits at the national minimum, shared with about 35% of ZIPs.
In plain terms, distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. 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". The nearest healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 63532, 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 1.11 years of 79.4, 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.
