In its overall standing, Smithville, Missouri (ZIP 64089) lands in the top 25% healthiest ZIPs nationally (8,128th) and the top 7.6% of Missouri (75th).
This area's strengths are easy to pick out across the measures: park land rests in the top 6.8% nationally, modeled mammography registers in the top 8.7% nationally, and modeled food insecurity resides in the bottom 14.1% nationally. Crowded housing settles at the national minimum, shared with about 29% of ZIPs. Modeled energy burden is in the bottom 13.7% nationally, and poverty sits in the bottom 16% nationally. Unemployment lands in the bottom 18% nationally. Working the other way, modeled industrial-pollution burden lies in the top 8.7% nationally, and expected annual loss stands in the top 12.7% nationally. Modeled extreme heat rests in the top 18% nationally.
Against the wider neighborhood, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Put simply, 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. Energy burden is the share of household income that goes to home energy bills. On the overall standing, ZIP 64060, just across the boundary, ranks healthier.

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 1.09 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
