On the composite measure, Canalou, Missouri (ZIP 63828) stands in the bottom 5.3% nationally (30,398th) and the bottom 7.0% of Missouri (924th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
A number of readings press hard on the profile and set its tone: modeled cognitive disability settles in the top 2.0% nationally, and colon screening rests in the bottom 2.9% nationally. Modeled tooth loss lands in the top 5.0% nationally, and mammography settles in the bottom 4.1% nationally. Modeled independent living disability rests in the top 5.5% nationally, and tree cover lands at the national minimum. On the brighter side, modeled transportation noise settles at the national minimum, and disaster risk rests in the bottom 4.9% nationally. Unemployment lands at the national minimum, shared with about 15% of ZIPs. Modeled expected annual loss settles in the bottom 7.4% nationally.
For clarity, disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. 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. ZIP 63801, just across the boundary, ranks better overall among the ZIPs nearby.

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 3.12 years of 81.5, 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.
