In its overall standing, Syracuse, Missouri (ZIP 65354) lands in the bottom 5.5% nationally (30,333rd) and the bottom 7.5% of Missouri (919th).
Reading the numbers as a whole, the picture lands somewhere in between: modeled industrial-pollution burden stands in the bottom 7.9% nationally. On the other side, modeled cognitive disability rests in the top 3.3% nationally, loud transportation noise registers in the top 2.7% nationally, and tooth loss resides in the top 5.0% nationally. Housing-cost burden settles in the top 3.1% nationally, and modeled mobility disability is in the top 4.3% nationally. Modeled independent living disability sits in the top 5.2% nationally, and fair or poor health lands in the top 7.2% nationally. Modeled hearing disability lies in the top 6.0% nationally, and self-care disability stands in the top 7.4% nationally.
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. 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. On the overall standing, ZIP 65034, just across the boundary, ranks healthier.
What’s driving this score
Nine domains make up the ZipVitals Score — here is how this ZIP does on each, and how much each one counts.

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 2.09 years of 80.2, 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.
