By the composite health measure, St. Thomas, Missouri (ZIP 65076) ranks in the top 30% healthiest ZIPs nationally (9,518th) and the top 8.8% of Missouri (87th).
The picture here is genuinely mixed, with readings on both sides: poverty lies in the bottom 5.7% nationally. Unemployment lands at the national minimum, shared with about 15% of ZIPs.

Modeled mammography settles in the top 11.1% nationally. Crowded housing resides at the national minimum, shared with about 29% of ZIPs. On the other side, distance to an emergency room registers in the top 2.2% nationally, and lead in tap water rests in the top 8.5% nationally.

Read against the ZIPs closest to it, outer-floodplain exposure runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. To spell things out, lead in tap water is the EPA trigger, 15 parts per billion in tap samples, above which a water system must act on lead. 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 65085, about 0.5 miles away, 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

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 1.49 years of 81.5, 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. How distance is measured
