Higher is healthier
ST91stUS94thDefinition & 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 ›Energy-cost burden
5.5%
in the top 4.8% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST98thUS95thDefinition & source ›
The modeled share of household income spent on home energy bills — electricity, gas, and heating fuels.
A modeled share of household income spent on home energy. Estimates that hit the model’s 100% ceiling are suppressed rather than published, because at that point the figure reflects the model’s limit rather than a measured burden.
Full methodology ›The read
Markham, Illinois (ZIP 60428), in overall standing, comes out in the bottom 17% nationally (26,529th) and the bottom 4.9% of Illinois (1,301st).
A demanding profile, and several measures drive it: modeled short sleep is in the top 2.7% nationally, outer-floodplain exposure lies in the top 2.3% nationally, and modeled housing insecurity registers in the top 2.4% nationally. Modeled food insecurity is in the top 3.3% nationally, utility shutoff lies in the top 3.4% nationally, and colon screening registers in the bottom 5.3% nationally. Modeled transportation is in the top 4.5% nationally, and tooth loss lies in the top 6.6% nationally. Modeled energy burden registers in the top 4.8% nationally. On the stronger side, transit is in the top 5.6% nationally.
Set within its surrounding area, outer-floodplain exposure runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Defined simply, for reference, outer-floodplain exposure is land with a lower but real 1-in-500 chance of flooding each year, nicknamed the "500-year floodplain". Energy burden is the share of household income that goes to home energy bills. The closest healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 60429, 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

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
