Overall, Lebanon, Missouri (ZIP 65536) places in the bottom 16% nationally (26,893rd) and the bottom 29% of Missouri (708th).
The measures that matter most for this area lead the way: modeled disaster risk resides in the top 0.5% nationally, and expected annual loss is in the top 3.2% nationally. Modeled cognitive disability lands in the top 6.0% nationally, and independent living disability stands in the top 11.3% nationally. On the better side, distance to an emergency room registers at the national minimum, shared with about 11% of ZIPs. Subsidized affordable housing settles in the top 7.5% nationally, and modeled arsenic sits in the bottom 7.5% nationally. Distance to a community health center lies at the national minimum, shared with about 23% of ZIPs. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility rests in the top 11.9% nationally. Distance to a nursing home resides at the national minimum, shared with about 27% of ZIPs.
Beside the areas that surround it, expected annual loss runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For readers new to these terms, disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. Among nearby ZIPs, the nearest healthier one overall is ZIP 65020, just across the boundary.

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 0.73 years of 75.7, 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.
