Overall, Dixon, Missouri (ZIP 65459) lands in the bottom 28% nationally (23,069th) and the top 46% of Missouri (461st), based on limited data; treat as directional.
The picture here is genuinely mixed, with readings on both sides: modeled arsenic rests in the bottom 10.1% nationally, and distance to a hazardous-chemical facility stands in the top 15% nationally. Modeled industrial-pollution burden lies in the bottom 16% nationally, and tree cover lands in the top 17% nationally. On the other side, modeled short sleep sits in the top 11.2% nationally, cognitive disability is in the top 17% nationally, and mammography settles in the bottom 16% nationally. Distance to a Superfund site resides in the bottom 21% nationally, modeled expected annual loss registers in the top 21% nationally, and home broadband subscription rests in the bottom 25% nationally.
A note on the terms: arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. 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. Industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. For a healthier nearby comparison, ZIP 65058, just across the boundary, ranks better 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 1.13 years of 74.2, 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.
