Elder-services access
0.39 per 1,000 residents
in the top 3.3% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST97thUS97thDefinition & source ›
The number of services for older adults and people with disabilities inside this ZIP’s boundary, per 1,000 residents.
Counted from establishments located inside this ZIP’s boundary, so one just across the line is not counted. Where a ZIP has too few residents for the density to be reliable, no value is published rather than an unreliable one.

17.8 mi

Higher is healthier
ST96thUS94thDefinition & source ›
The distance in miles from this ZIP’s edge to the nearest facility that handles enough hazardous chemicals to require an EPA risk-management plan for accidental releases.

in the bottom 6.3% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST18thUS6thDefinition & 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.

The average number of days per year with a modeled daily high of at least 95 °F.
Full methodology ›The read
On the composite measure, Niangua, Missouri (ZIP 65713) stands in the bottom 30% nationally (22,492nd) and the top 44% of Missouri (433rd).
A balanced set of signals defines this area, not any single one: elder services sits in the top 3.3% nationally, and distance to a hazardous-chemical facility resides in the top 6.0% nationally. Modeled arsenic stands in the bottom 6.3% nationally, and industrial-pollution burden sits in the bottom 14.5% nationally. Childcare resides in the top 17% nationally. By contrast, fiber broadband stands at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Home broadband subscription sits in the bottom 12.5% nationally, distance to an emergency room resides in the top 13.4% nationally, and fatal road crashes stands in the top 13.7% nationally. Modeled cognitive disability sits in the top 16% nationally.
For clarity, 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. Arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. Industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. ZIP 65706, 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 1.63 years of 79.8, 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.
