Full methodology ›The read
Alba, Missouri (ZIP 64830), by its overall standing, sits in the bottom 19% nationally (25,958th) and the bottom 36% of Missouri (635th).
The profile opens balanced, with readings on either hand: fiber broadband is at the national maximum, modeled expected annual loss resides in the bottom 7.2% nationally, and modeled disaster risk rests in the bottom 9.3% nationally. Modeled loud transportation noise lies at the national minimum, shared with about 22% of ZIPs. Modeled arsenic sits in the bottom 12.0% nationally. By contrast, poverty settles in the top 5.6% nationally, and modeled cognitive disability registers in the top 6.9% nationally. Modeled short sleep stands in the top 8.3% nationally, and crowded housing lands in the top 15% nationally. Distance to an emergency room is in the top 16% nationally.
Defined in plain terms, 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. Arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. The nearest ZIP ranking healthier overall is ZIP 64755, 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 1.28 years of 80.0, 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. How distance is measured
