Full methodology ›The read
Dunnegan, Missouri (ZIP 65640), on the composite measure, lands in the bottom 10.4% nationally (28,756th) and the bottom 18% of Missouri (817th).
Where the data leans one way, another reading answers it: modeled industrial-pollution burden registers in the bottom 3.1% nationally, homeownership lands in the top 5.5% nationally, and distance to a hazardous-chemical facility resides in the top 6.5% nationally. On the other hand, home broadband subscription lies in the bottom 1.3% nationally, modeled mammography settles in the bottom 5.1% nationally, and modeled cognitive disability stands in the top 6.0% nationally. Modeled tooth loss is in the top 7.8% nationally, and hearing disability rests in the top 8.0% nationally. Crowded housing sits in the top 8.4% nationally, and modeled independent living disability registers in the top 9.3% nationally.
In everyday language, industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. 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. A healthier neighbor overall sits at ZIP 65613, 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 0.78 years of 76.6, 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. How distance is measured
