Full methodology ›The read
Leadwood, Missouri (ZIP 63653), by its composite score, sits in the bottom 8.2% nationally (29,447th) and the bottom 12.6% of Missouri (868th).
The measures that define this area's challenges come through directly: modeled cognitive disability rests in the top 2.7% nationally, and tooth loss resides in the top 4.5% nationally. Poverty is in the top 3.1% nationally, and modeled colon screening lands in the bottom 4.8% nationally. Modeled mammography stands in the bottom 7.6% nationally, independent living disability registers in the top 9.3% nationally, and short sleep settles in the top 9.2% nationally. Fiber broadband sits at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. On the stronger side, childcare lies in the top 3.1% nationally, and distance to a hazardous-chemical facility rests in the top 10.5% nationally.
Next to the surrounding area, walkability runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For anyone unfamiliar, distance to a hazardous-chemical facility is a plant handling large amounts of hazardous chemicals that must file an EPA risk-management plan for accidental releases.

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 1.57 years of 76.3, 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.
