Full methodology ›The read
Quincy, Missouri (ZIP 65735) ranks in the bottom 7.4% nationally (29,713th) and the bottom 11.1% of Missouri (883rd), based on limited data; treat as directional.
The weightiest signals in the profile are worth naming up front: modeled hearing disability is in the top 0.5% nationally, and coronary heart disease registers in the top 0.6% nationally. Modeled mobility disability lies in the top 1.5% nationally, and stroke is in the top 2.0% nationally. Modeled high cholesterol registers in the top 0.8% nationally, diabetes lies in the top 3.0% nationally, and high blood pressure is in the top 2.2% nationally. Distance to an emergency room registers in the top 4.0% nationally. More positively, modeled industrial-pollution burden lies in the bottom 2.8% nationally, and distance to a hazardous-chemical facility is in the top 4.0% nationally.
For context, 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. The closest ZIP that ranks healthier overall is ZIP 64776, 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 1.28 years of 79.6, 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.
