ST22ndUS7thDefinition & source ›
The modeled probability that untreated groundwater in this area — the source private wells draw on — exceeds the federal arsenic limit of 10 micrograms per liter.
A modeled likelihood for untreated groundwater, the source drawn on by private wells, which are federally unregulated. It is not a measurement of treated water delivered by a public system, and it is not a test of any individual well.

On the composite measure, Marshfield, Missouri (ZIP 65706) stands in the bottom 38% nationally (20,031st) and the top 32% of Missouri (321st).
Several signals sit on each side of the ledger here: modeled arsenic lands in the bottom 7.3% nationally. Distance to a community health center settles at the national minimum, shared with about 23% of ZIPs. Pharmacy rests in the top 12.6% nationally. Distance to a nursing home lands at the national minimum, shared with about 27% of ZIPs. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility settles in the top 14.3% nationally, and subsidized affordable housing rests in the top 14.6% nationally. Outer-floodplain exposure lands at the national minimum, shared with about 36% of ZIPs. Working the other way, distance to an emergency room settles in the top 11.4% nationally, and modeled disaster risk rests in the top 12.8% nationally. Modeled expected annual loss lands in the top 16% nationally.
For clarity, arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. Disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. 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. ZIP 65648, just across the boundary, ranks better overall among the ZIPs nearby.

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 0.76 years of 77.5, 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.
