Middle Brook, Missouri (ZIP 63656) ranks in the bottom 14.3% nationally (27,487th) and the bottom 26% of Missouri (733rd), based on limited data; treat as directional.
A balanced set of signals defines this area, not any single one: modeled tree cover resides in the top 1.3% nationally. Unemployment stands at the national minimum, shared with about 15% of ZIPs. Park land sits in the top 7.8% nationally, housing-cost burden resides in the bottom 7.8% nationally, and modeled arsenic stands in the bottom 8.4% nationally. Poverty sits in the bottom 8.4% nationally. By contrast, modeled hearing disability resides in the top 3.3% nationally, slow internet speeds stands in the top 4.9% nationally, and modeled coronary heart disease sits in the top 5.6% nationally. Modeled mobility disability resides in the top 7.3% nationally.
Against its neighbors, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For context, arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. The closest ZIP that ranks healthier overall is ZIP 63650, 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 1.30 years of 78.1, 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.
