Full methodology ›The read
Roscoe, Missouri (ZIP 64781), on the composite measure, lands in the bottom 18% nationally (26,328th) and the bottom 34% of Missouri (660th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
Where the data leans one way, another reading answers it: modeled expected annual loss stands in the bottom 2.5% nationally, disaster risk is in the bottom 3.9% nationally, and pfas rests in the bottom 7.2% nationally. Modeled industrial-pollution burden sits in the bottom 7.3% nationally. Households without a vehicle registers at the national minimum, shared with about 16% of ZIPs. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility lands in the top 7.9% nationally, and distance to a Superfund site resides in the top 10.1% nationally. On the other hand, modeled hearing disability lies in the top 5.6% nationally, and distance to a nursing home settles in the top 8.8% nationally. Modeled mobility disability stands in the top 10.3% nationally.
In everyday language, expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. 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 65785, 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 1.78 years of 77.8, 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.
