Industrial-pollution burden
in the top 3.6% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST93rdUS96thDefinition & source ›
The EPA’s modeled screening score for industrial chemical releases, weighting the amounts released by their toxicity and how many people live nearby — a relative comparison score, not a measured exposure.
Full methodology ›Walkability
170 intersections/sq mi
in the top 4.1% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST93rdUS96thDefinition & source ›
The number of street intersections per square mile — a standard street-connectivity measure; denser networks correlate with more walkable neighborhoods.
Full methodology ›Short sleep
43.6%
in the top 5.3% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST97thUS95thDefinition & source ›
The estimated share of adults who usually sleep less than seven hours in a 24-hour period.
Full methodology ›Housing insecurity
23.5%
in the top 5.2% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST96thUS95thDefinition & source ›
The estimated share of adults who experienced housing insecurity in the past 12 months.
Full methodology ›Transportation noise
12.1%
in the top 6.3% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST87thUS94thDefinition & source ›
The modeled share of residents exposed to average road, rail, and aviation noise at or above 55 decibels — a noticeable background presence.
Full methodology ›Lead in tap water
6.4 ppb
in the top 7.0% nationally
Lower is healthier
US93rdDefinition & source ›
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 ›Transit access
4 per 1,000 residents
in the top 7.2% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST89thUS93rdDefinition & source ›
The number of public-transit stops 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.
Full methodology ›Food insecurity
28.5%
in the top 7.3% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST95thUS93rdDefinition & source ›
The estimated share of adults who experienced food insecurity in the past 12 months.

Full methodology ›The read
By the composite measure, Broadview, Illinois (ZIP 60155) sits in the bottom 45% nationally (17,524th) and the bottom 40% of Illinois (821st).
The readings split fairly evenly between strengths and concerns: walkability settles in the top 4.1% nationally, transit stands in the top 7.2% nationally, and modeled hearing disability is in the bottom 6.4% nationally. Working the other way, modeled industrial-pollution burden rests in the top 3.6% nationally, short sleep sits in the top 5.3% nationally, and housing insecurity registers in the top 5.2% nationally. Modeled transportation noise lands in the top 6.3% nationally, and lead in tap water resides in the top 7.0% nationally. Modeled food insecurity lies in the top 7.3% nationally, and loneliness settles in the top 8.1% nationally.
Compared with the ZIPs that surround it, outer-floodplain exposure runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In plain language, industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Lead in tap water is the EPA trigger, 15 parts per billion in tap samples, above which a water system must act on lead. Transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to average road, rail, and air noise at or above 55 decibels. ZIP 60154, just across the boundary, ranks healthier overall.

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 0.88 years of 77.5, 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
