Fatal road crashes
66 per 100,000 residents per year
in the top 1.7% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST98thUS98thDefinition & source ›
The annual rate of fatal road crashes per 100,000 residents, pooled over a ten-year window.
A rate per resident population. Where a ZIP has too few residents for the rate to be reliable — about 30% of US ZIPs — no value is published rather than an unstable one; those ZIPs are absent from this comparison, not counted as crash-free.

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
On balance, and by the composite measure, Jane, Missouri (ZIP 64856) ranks in the bottom 9.1% nationally (29,160th) and the bottom 15.0% of Missouri (845th).
Neither strongly one way nor the other, the measures sit mixed: modeled arsenic stands in the bottom 3.2% nationally, and tree cover settles in the top 10.6% nationally. Distance to a community health center lies at the national minimum, shared with about 23% of ZIPs. Against that, fatal road crashes resides in the top 1.7% nationally, modeled cognitive disability lands in the top 4.6% nationally, and crowded housing registers in the top 6.0% nationally. Modeled colon screening sits in the bottom 7.4% nationally, independent living disability rests in the top 9.8% nationally, and tooth loss is in the top 11.5% nationally. Modeled mobility disability stands in the top 12.9% nationally.
In plainer terms, arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. Distance to a community health center is a federally funded (HRSA) community health center serving everyone regardless of ability to pay.

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 1.20 years of 76.1, 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.
