Full methodology ›The read
In overall standing, Lowry City, Missouri (ZIP 64763) comes out in the bottom 12.5% nationally (28,088th) and the bottom 23% of Missouri (768th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
The profile opens balanced, with readings on either hand: modeled industrial-pollution burden registers in the bottom 3.6% nationally, and pfas stands in the bottom 4.4% nationally. By contrast, modeled hearing disability lands in the top 2.8% nationally, modeled mobility disability is in the top 5.6% nationally, and crowded housing resides in the top 4.8% nationally. Slow internet speeds rests in the top 5.0% nationally, and modeled coronary heart disease lies in the top 5.6% nationally. Modeled stroke sits in the top 7.8% nationally, and cognitive disability settles in the top 9.0% nationally. Modeled independent living disability registers in the top 9.3% nationally.
In plain terms, industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. 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. The nearest healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 64724, 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 1.14 years of 75.3, 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.
