St. Elizabeth, Missouri (ZIP 65075), in overall standing, comes out in the top 32% healthiest ZIPs nationally (10,335th) and the top 9.6% of Missouri (95th).
The measures that most flatter this area set the tone for the rest: housing-cost burden settles in the bottom 6.7% nationally, distance to a hazardous-chemical facility lands in the top 8.1% nationally, and modeled transportation noise rests in the bottom 8.7% nationally. Homeownership settles in the top 9.8% nationally, and poverty lands in the bottom 10.1% nationally. Modeled loud transportation noise rests at the national minimum, shared with about 22% of ZIPs. Modeled pfas settles in the bottom 13.0% nationally. Against that, distance to an emergency room lands in the top 5.6% nationally, and slow internet speeds rests in the top 9.5% nationally. Fiber broadband settles at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs.
Defined simply, for reference, 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. Transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to average road, rail, and air noise at or above 55 decibels. The closest healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 65076, about 0.4 miles away.

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 1.22 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.
