Full methodology ›The read
In overall standing, Worthington, Missouri (ZIP 63567) comes out in the bottom 38% nationally (19,797th) and the top 31% of Missouri (308th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
The data is direct about where this area carries real strain: unemployment lands in the top 0.4% nationally, homeownership is in the bottom 1.8% nationally, and poverty resides in the top 3.0% nationally. More encouragingly, modeled transportation noise rests at the national minimum, home broadband subscription lies at the national maximum, and modeled industrial-pollution burden sits in the bottom 3.5% nationally. Fiber broadband settles in the top 5.9% nationally, and housing-cost burden registers in the bottom 7.6% nationally. Households without a vehicle stands at the national minimum, shared with about 16% of ZIPs. Modeled expected annual loss lands in the bottom 8.6% nationally.
Relative to the ZIPs around it, unemployment runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In plain terms, industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to average road, rail, and air noise at or above 55 decibels. The nearest healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 63551, 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 2.61 years of 83.3, 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.
