The lead level at the 90th percentile of tap-water samples reported by the public water systems serving this ZIP, in parts per billion — the EPA requires action above 15 ppb.
Measured from EPA records for the public water systems that serve this ZIP. Households on private wells — roughly 30% of the US population — are not covered by this measure, and this figure says nothing about their water.

Full methodology ›The read
Bartlett, Illinois (ZIP 60103), in overall standing, comes out in the top 6.9% healthiest ZIPs nationally (2,197th) and the top 6.0% of Illinois (82nd).
A few readings each way define this mixed profile: household income rests in the top 6.3% nationally, park land settles in the top 6.5% nationally, and modeled cognitive disability lands in the bottom 5.9% nationally. Modeled obesity rests in the bottom 10.0% nationally, hearing disability settles in the bottom 7.2% nationally, and coronary heart disease lands in the bottom 7.0% nationally. Pulling the other way, lead in tap water rests in the top 0.7% nationally, and modeled expected annual loss settles in the top 3.0% nationally. Modeled industrial-pollution burden lands in the top 3.3% nationally, and distance to a Superfund site rests in the bottom 4.7% nationally.
Set within its surrounding area, lead in tap water runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Defined simply, for reference, lead in tap water is the EPA trigger, 15 parts per billion in tap samples, above which a water system must act on lead. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. The closest healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 60184, 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 0.70 years of 80.9, 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
