The number of civic and social organizations 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.

Full methodology ›The read
By the composite health measure, Morrison, Missouri (ZIP 65061) ranks in the bottom 35% nationally (20,853rd) and the top 37% of Missouri (363rd).
Several measures weigh most on this area's profile, and they come first: modeled loud transportation noise sits in the top 2.4% nationally, and transportation noise is in the top 5.2% nationally. Crowded housing settles in the top 6.8% nationally. On the better side, civic resides in the top 1.7% nationally, housing-cost burden registers in the bottom 8.6% nationally, and homeownership rests in the top 8.7% nationally. Modeled pfas stands in the bottom 12.1% nationally, modeled loneliness lies in the bottom 16% nationally, and households without a vehicle lands in the bottom 17% nationally. Modeled arsenic sits in the bottom 17% nationally.
Read against the ZIPs closest to it, civic runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. To spell things out, 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. Close by, ZIP 65024, just across the boundary, ranks healthier overall.

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

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.
