Full methodology ›The read
Chadwick, Missouri (ZIP 65629), on the composite measure, lands in the top 42% healthiest ZIPs nationally (13,608th) and the top 13.9% of Missouri (138th).
Where the data leans one way, another reading answers it: park land is in the top 2.2% nationally, modeled tree cover rests in the top 3.6% nationally, and modeled arsenic sits in the bottom 4.5% nationally. Modeled loneliness registers in the bottom 9.0% nationally, and distance to a hazardous-chemical facility lands in the top 10.1% nationally. Modeled loud transportation noise resides at the national minimum, shared with about 22% of ZIPs. Modeled transportation noise lies in the bottom 12.5% nationally. On the other hand, distance to an emergency room settles in the top 7.7% nationally. Fiber broadband stands at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Walkability is in the bottom 11.1% nationally.
Set against the neighboring ZIPs, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In everyday language, 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. Loud transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to road, rail, and air noise at or above 65 decibels, near conversation volume. A healthier neighbor overall sits at ZIP 65657, 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 1.73 years of 81.0, 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.
