Overall, Carpentersville, Illinois (ZIP 60110) places in the top 35% healthiest ZIPs nationally (11,168th) and the top 33% of Illinois (447th).
The measures land in both directions, and neither dominates: modeled high blood pressure rests in the bottom 4.6% nationally, and subsidized affordable housing resides in the top 6.4% nationally. Modeled high cholesterol is in the bottom 4.9% nationally, and lithium in drinking water lands in the bottom 7.1% nationally. Modeled coronary heart disease stands in the bottom 6.3% nationally, park land registers in the top 8.5% nationally, and modeled hearing disability settles in the bottom 7.2% nationally. Pulling the other way, modeled colon screening sits in the bottom 3.5% nationally, uninsured lies in the top 5.6% nationally, and expected annual loss rests in the top 5.3% nationally.
Beside the areas that surround it, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For readers new to these terms, expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Lithium in drinking water is a natural metal that dissolves into some groundwater and has no federal drinking-water limit yet. Subsidized affordable housing is the main federal tax-credit program (HUD) funding affordable rental housing, counted as local units it supports. Among nearby ZIPs, the nearest healthier one overall is ZIP 60010, 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 1.02 years of 78.9, 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.
