Radon
3.6 pCi/L

ST99thUS96thDefinition & source ›
The modeled typical indoor radon level for this area, in picocuries per liter — the EPA recommends fixing a home at 4 pCi/L or above.
Modeled from indoor-radon measurements. In Alaska and Hawaii, where those measurements are not published, a US Geological Survey geologic radon-potential category stands in — a coarser input, disclosed rather than hidden.

Full methodology ›The read
Overall, Hopkins, Missouri (ZIP 64461) places in the bottom 31% nationally (22,246th) and the top 43% of Missouri (423rd).
The data opens on a genuinely even set of readings: fiber broadband lands in the top 8.3% nationally, and distance to a Superfund site stands in the top 9.4% nationally. Modeled loud transportation noise registers at the national minimum, shared with about 22% of ZIPs. Modeled transportation noise settles in the bottom 16% nationally. On the other side, modeled radon sits in the top 4.4% nationally, short sleep lies in the top 9.2% nationally, and industrial-pollution burden rests in the top 13.2% nationally. PFAS in drinking water resides in the top 14.3% nationally. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility is at the national minimum, shared with about 31% of ZIPs. Recreation lands at the national minimum, shared with about 35% of ZIPs.
Beside the areas that surround it, industrial-pollution burden runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For readers new to these terms, radon is a radioactive soil gas the EPA identifies as the top cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers. Distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. Industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Among nearby ZIPs, the nearest healthier one overall is ZIP 64475, 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 1.20 years of 78.9, 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.
