Full methodology ›The read
By the composite health measure, Eunice, Missouri (ZIP 65468) ranks in the bottom 2.8% nationally (31,189th) and the bottom 1.9% of Missouri (975th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
Where the load on this area runs deepest, the data leads: modeled hearing disability registers in the top 0.2% nationally, and coronary heart disease rests in the top 0.2% nationally. Households without a vehicle stands at the national maximum, and modeled tooth loss lies in the top 1.3% nationally. Poverty lands at the national maximum, modeled stroke sits in the top 1.0% nationally, and housing-cost burden is at the national maximum. Modeled mobility disability settles in the top 0.8% nationally. More encouragingly, modeled arsenic resides in the bottom 0.5% nationally, and industrial-pollution burden registers in the bottom 0.7% nationally.
Read against the ZIPs closest to it, households without a vehicle runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. To spell things out, 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. Close by, ZIP 65464, 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 1.55 years of 76.5, 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.
