Full methodology ›The read
Judged by its overall standing, Missouri City, Missouri (ZIP 64072) sits in the top 48% healthiest ZIPs nationally (15,356th) and the top 17% of Missouri (173rd).
An even profile, with readings pulling both ways: modeled disaster risk stands in the bottom 4.1% nationally, mammography resides in the top 3.8% nationally, and food insecurity sits in the bottom 8.7% nationally. Modeled expected annual loss stands in the bottom 9.1% nationally. Against that, modeled transportation noise resides in the top 1.4% nationally, and loud transportation noise sits in the top 2.3% nationally. Floodplain exposure stands in the top 3.1% nationally, and outer-floodplain exposure resides in the top 5.1% nationally. Home broadband subscription sits in the bottom 6.1% nationally, and modeled industrial-pollution burden stands in the top 7.4% nationally.
Placed beside its immediate neighbors, transportation noise runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Put plainly, disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. A healthier nearby ZIP overall is ZIP 64068, 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 1.91 years of 80.9, 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
