On the composite measure, Chamois, Missouri (ZIP 65024) stands in the top 47% healthiest ZIPs nationally (15,220th) and the top 17% of Missouri (167th).
The strongest marks in the data are worth naming first: modeled pfas rests in the bottom 11.1% nationally, and loneliness lands in the bottom 13.3% nationally. Crowded housing settles at the national minimum, shared with about 29% of ZIPs. Homeownership rests in the top 17% nationally. On the other side, modeled transportation noise lands in the top 6.8% nationally, modeled loud transportation noise settles in the top 8.5% nationally, and slow internet speeds rests in the top 9.1% nationally. Fiber broadband lands at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility settles at the national minimum, shared with about 31% of ZIPs. Floodplain exposure rests in the top 16% nationally.
For clarity, 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. 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. Transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to average road, rail, and air noise at or above 55 decibels. ZIP 65016, just across the boundary, ranks better overall among the ZIPs nearby.

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 1.36 years of 80.8, 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.
