Radon
3.5 pCi/L
in the top 5.1% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST99thUS95thDefinition & 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.

Lower is healthier
ST95thUS70thDefinition & source ›
The modeled probability that untreated groundwater in this area — the source private wells draw on — exceeds the federal arsenic limit of 10 micrograms per liter.
A modeled likelihood for untreated groundwater, the source drawn on by private wells, which are federally unregulated. It is not a measurement of treated water delivered by a public system, and it is not a test of any individual well.
Full methodology ›The read
Mound City, Missouri (ZIP 64470), on the composite measure, lands in the bottom 32% nationally (21,660th) and the top 40% of Missouri (402nd), based on limited data; treat as directional.
The profile cuts both ways, and the readings bear that out: distance to a Superfund site lies in the top 7.0% nationally. Distance to a community health center settles at the national minimum, shared with about 23% of ZIPs. Modeled pfas stands in the bottom 12.4% nationally, and loneliness is in the bottom 12.4% nationally. Distance to a nursing home rests at the national minimum, shared with about 27% of ZIPs. Working the other way, modeled radon sits in the top 5.1% nationally, and hearing disability registers in the top 6.5% nationally. Distance to an emergency room lands in the top 7.3% nationally. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility resides at the national minimum, shared with about 31% of ZIPs. Home broadband subscription lies in the bottom 16% nationally.
In everyday language, 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. Pfas is the man-made "forever chemicals" that build up in the body and environment instead of breaking down; here a modeled estimate of the chance a private well contains them. A healthier neighbor overall sits at ZIP 64427, about 5.6 miles 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 1.29 years of 76.7, 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.
