By its overall health score, ZIP 64015, one of several in Blue Springs, Missouri lands in the top 38% healthiest ZIPs nationally (12,083rd) and the top 12.0% of Missouri (119th).
The profile opens on a set of genuinely favorable readings: park land is in the top 5.7% nationally. Distance to a community health center stands at the national minimum, shared with about 23% of ZIPs. Subsidized affordable housing settles in the top 11.7% nationally. Distance to a nursing home lies at the national minimum, shared with about 27% of ZIPs. Distance to an emergency room resides in the bottom 14.7% nationally. On the other side, modeled industrial-pollution burden lands in the top 7.2% nationally, distance to a Superfund site registers in the bottom 10.8% nationally, and modeled expected annual loss sits in the top 11.1% nationally. Modeled binge drinking rests in the top 16% nationally, and extreme heat is in the top 19% nationally.
Weighed against the ZIPs nearby, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. To translate a couple of terms, industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Overall, the nearest healthier neighbor is ZIP 64064, 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 0.44 years of 78.5, 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. How distance is measured
