In its overall standing, Holts Summit, Missouri (ZIP 65043) lands in the top 48% healthiest ZIPs nationally (15,480th) and the top 18% of Missouri (176th).
Reading the numbers as a whole, this area's strong points come through first: fiber broadband lies in the top 9.4% nationally, mental-health providers stands in the top 11.1% nationally, and unemployment rests in the bottom 19% nationally. Modeled tree cover registers in the top 19% nationally. Set against that, distance to an emergency room resides in the top 6.1% nationally, and modeled industrial-pollution burden settles in the top 6.6% nationally. Lead in tap water is in the top 14.2% nationally, and floodplain exposure sits in the top 17% nationally. Modeled extreme heat lands in the top 21% nationally. Childcare lies at the national minimum, shared with about 42% of ZIPs.
Against the wider neighborhood, industrial-pollution burden runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Put simply, industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Lead in tap water is the EPA trigger, 15 parts per billion in tap samples, above which a water system must act on lead. Floodplain exposure is land with about a 1-in-100 chance of flooding each year, nicknamed the "100-year floodplain". On the overall standing, ZIP 65039, 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 1.25 years of 78.4, 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.
