Full methodology ›The read
Thornfield, Missouri (ZIP 65762) ranks in the bottom 6.2% nationally (30,089th) and the bottom 8.8% of Missouri (906th).
Several readings make the pressure on this area plain: modeled hearing disability lies in the top 1.5% nationally, and mobility disability is in the top 2.6% nationally. Modeled coronary heart disease registers in the top 2.1% nationally, and stroke lies in the top 3.6% nationally. Modeled self-care disability is in the top 5.4% nationally, independent living disability registers in the top 5.2% nationally, and cognitive disability lies in the top 5.3% nationally. Distance to an emergency room is in the top 4.5% nationally. On the encouraging side, distance to a hazardous-chemical facility registers in the top 4.4% nationally, and modeled arsenic lies in the bottom 4.5% nationally.
Against its neighbors, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For context, 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. The closest ZIP that ranks healthier overall is ZIP 65608, 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 0.94 years of 76.0, 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.
