Full methodology ›The read
In its overall standing, Argyle, Missouri (ZIP 65001) lands in the top 45% healthiest ZIPs nationally (14,511th) and the top 15% of Missouri (149th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
This area's most favorable readings come through plainly in the numbers: housing-cost burden lands in the bottom 4.7% nationally. Unemployment lies at the national minimum, shared with about 15% of ZIPs. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility stands in the top 7.8% nationally, and modeled pfas rests in the bottom 8.5% nationally. Modeled arsenic registers in the bottom 9.7% nationally. On the other side, households without a vehicle resides in the top 3.0% nationally, and home broadband subscription settles in the bottom 3.6% nationally. Distance to an emergency room is in the top 6.0% nationally, and distance to a Superfund site sits in the bottom 6.3% nationally. Fiber broadband lands at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs.
Put simply, distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility is a plant handling large amounts of hazardous chemicals that must file an EPA risk-management plan for accidental releases. 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. On the overall standing, ZIP 65048, just across the boundary, ranks healthier.

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 1.10 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.
