Overall, Marquand, Missouri (ZIP 63655) places in the bottom 20% nationally (25,564th) and the bottom 39% of Missouri (610th).
The measures fall on both sides for this area, fairly evenly: modeled tree cover is in the top 4.5% nationally, and distance to a hazardous-chemical facility lands in the top 6.1% nationally. Housing-cost burden stands in the bottom 7.9% nationally, and modeled arsenic registers in the bottom 8.2% nationally. Modeled pfas settles in the bottom 8.4% nationally, and transportation noise sits in the bottom 9.1% nationally. Pulling the other way, fiber broadband lies at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Slow internet speeds rests in the top 11.6% nationally, modeled cognitive disability resides in the top 13.0% nationally, and modeled hearing disability is in the top 12.7% nationally.
Beside the areas that surround it, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For readers new to these terms, 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. Arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. 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. Among nearby ZIPs, the nearest healthier one overall is ZIP 63645, 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

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.
