Full methodology ›The read
ZIP 64113, one of several in Kansas City, Missouri, in overall standing, comes out in the top 3.2% healthiest ZIPs nationally (1,024th) and the top 0.4% of Missouri (3rd).
A few readings each way define this mixed profile: modeled food insecurity registers in the bottom 0.06% nationally, household income is in the top 1.7% nationally, and modeled transportation lies in the bottom 0.4% nationally. Modeled housing insecurity registers in the bottom 0.9% nationally, loneliness is in the bottom 1.0% nationally, and short sleep lies in the bottom 1.8% nationally. Walkability registers in the top 3.1% nationally, and floodplain exposure is at the national minimum. Modeled utility shutoff lies in the bottom 3.3% nationally. Pulling the other way, modeled industrial-pollution burden registers in the top 1.7% nationally.
Set within its surrounding area, industrial-pollution burden runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Defined simply, for reference, industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Floodplain exposure is land with about a 1-in-100 chance of flooding each year, nicknamed the "100-year floodplain". The closest healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 66208, less than a tenth of a mile away.

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 0.99 years of 82.6, 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
