The number of services for older adults and people with disabilities inside this ZIP’s boundary, per 1,000 residents.
Counted from establishments located inside this ZIP’s boundary, so one just across the line is not counted. Where a ZIP has too few residents for the density to be reliable, no value is published rather than an unreliable one.

By its overall health score, Chillicothe, Missouri (ZIP 64601) lands in the bottom 23% nationally (24,600th) and the bottom 44% of Missouri (553rd).
Neither strongly one way nor the other, the measures sit mixed: distance to an emergency room lands at the national minimum, shared with about 11% of ZIPs. Elder services registers in the top 5.6% nationally, and subsidized affordable housing sits in the top 10.0% nationally. Distance to a Superfund site rests in the top 10.9% nationally. Distance to a community health center is at the national minimum, shared with about 23% of ZIPs. Civic stands in the top 12.6% nationally. Against that, modeled cognitive disability settles in the top 11.1% nationally, floodplain exposure lies in the top 10.9% nationally, and modeled expected annual loss resides in the top 11.3% nationally. Home broadband subscription lands in the bottom 12.3% nationally.
To translate a couple of terms, distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Subsidized affordable housing is the main federal tax-credit program (HUD) funding affordable rental housing, counted as local units it supports. Overall, the nearest healthier neighbor is ZIP 64635, 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

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.
