Overall, Solo, Missouri (ZIP 65564) lands in the bottom 23% nationally (24,689th) and the bottom 44% of Missouri (560th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
Where the load on this area runs deepest, the data leads: modeled industrial-pollution burden settles in the bottom 0.6% nationally. More encouragingly, housing-cost burden resides at the national minimum, and poverty registers at the national minimum. Homeownership rests at the national maximum, home broadband subscription stands at the national maximum, and modeled disaster risk lies in the bottom 4.6% nationally. Modeled arsenic lands in the bottom 4.8% nationally. Unemployment sits at the national minimum, shared with about 15% of ZIPs. Households without a vehicle is at the national minimum, shared with about 16% of ZIPs. Distance to a Superfund site settles in the top 8.9% nationally.
A note on the terms: industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. For a healthier nearby comparison, ZIP 65484, about 9.8 miles away, 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 1.55 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.
