How is the ZipVitals Score calculated? →

37.04/ 100

Ranked #28,504 of 32,066 US ZIPs (bottom 11.2%)

Ranked #800 of 993 Missouri ZIPs (bottom 19%)

Ranks are modeled estimates — ZIPs a few hundred places apart are effectively tied.

What defines this ZIP

Metrics where this ZIP sits in the tails of the national distribution — the ones that most set it apart. Select any tile for its definition and methodology.

Grocery access

0.31 per 1,000 residents

in the top 3.5% nationally

Higher is healthier

ST97th
US97th
Definition & source ›

The number of full supermarkets inside this ZIP’s boundary, per 1,000 residents.

Counted from establishments located inside this ZIP’s boundary, so one just across the line is not counted. Where a ZIP has too few residents for the density to be reliable, no value is published rather than an unreliable one. ZipVitals’s food-access signal is derived from these in-ZIP densities — it is not USDA’s food-desert designation, which measures distance to the nearest supermarket. Where a leg is missing, a ZIP reads “not determinable,” never “not a food desert.”

Cognitive disability

21.2%

in the top 5.5% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST85th
US95th
Definition & source ›

The estimated share of adults with serious difficulty concentrating, remembering, or making decisions.

PFAS in drinking water

8.5%

in the bottom 5.9% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST14th
US6th
Definition & source ›

The modeled probability that PFAS “forever chemicals” would be detected in untreated groundwater in this area, the source private wells draw on.

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 ›

Fatal road crashes

41.4 per 100,000 residents per year

in the top 6.4% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST90th
US94th
Definition & 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.

Full methodology ›

Arsenic in groundwater

1.3%

in the bottom 9.3% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST27th
US9th
Definition & source ›

The modeled probability that untreated groundwater in this area — the source private wells draw on — exceeds the federal arsenic limit of 10 micrograms per liter.

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.

The read

Overall, Belle, Missouri (ZIP 65013) places in the bottom 11.2% nationally (28,504th) and the bottom 19% of Missouri (800th), based on limited data; treat as directional.

continue reading

The data opens on a genuinely even set of readings: grocery lands in the top 3.5% nationally, and modeled pfas stands in the bottom 5.9% nationally. Modeled arsenic registers in the bottom 9.3% nationally. Modeled loud transportation noise settles at the national minimum, shared with about 22% of ZIPs. On the other side, modeled cognitive disability sits in the top 5.5% nationally, fatal road crashes lies in the top 6.4% nationally, and modeled independent living disability rests in the top 9.8% nationally. Modeled hearing disability resides in the top 10.1% nationally, mobility disability is in the top 12.2% nationally, and short sleep lands in the top 12.0% nationally.

For readers new to these terms, 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. Arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. Loud transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to road, rail, and air noise at or above 65 decibels, near conversation volume. Among nearby ZIPs, the nearest healthier one overall is ZIP 65014, just across the boundary.

Nearby & similar ZIPs

Editorially selected — see how this ZIP compares to nearby and similar places.

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 76.2, 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.
