Full methodology ›The read
By the composite measure, Bixby, Missouri (ZIP 65439) sits in the bottom 10.5% nationally (28,710th) and the bottom 18% of Missouri (814th).
Where this area is stretched, the data is unambiguous: households without a vehicle resides in the top 1.5% nationally, modeled hearing disability lies in the top 4.2% nationally, and distance to an emergency room settles in the top 4.1% nationally. Household income stands in the bottom 0.6% nationally, poverty is in the top 4.6% nationally, and modeled industrial-pollution burden rests in the top 5.0% nationally. Better still, park land sits in the top 2.4% nationally, and home broadband subscription registers at the national maximum. Modeled tree cover lands in the top 3.1% nationally, and arsenic resides in the bottom 4.3% nationally.
Compared with the ZIPs that surround it, households without a vehicle runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In plain language, arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. Industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. ZIP 63623, 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

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 2.57 years of 79.7, 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.
