Full methodology ›The read
In overall standing, Minooka, Illinois (ZIP 60447) comes out in the top 22% healthiest ZIPs nationally (6,941st) and the top 18% of Illinois (251st).
The profile opens balanced, with readings on either hand: modeled coronary heart disease stands in the bottom 5.7% nationally, stroke lands in the bottom 5.4% nationally, and hearing disability is in the bottom 7.2% nationally. Poverty resides in the bottom 9.0% nationally, modeled high blood pressure rests in the bottom 7.5% nationally, and modeled mobility disability lies in the bottom 8.0% nationally. By contrast, modeled binge drinking sits in the top 2.0% nationally, and expected annual loss settles in the top 4.5% nationally. Modeled radon registers in the top 10.7% nationally, and industrial-pollution burden stands in the top 9.5% nationally.
Relative to the ZIPs around it, outer-floodplain exposure runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In plain terms, expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Radon is a radioactive soil gas the EPA identifies as the top cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers. Industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. The nearest healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 60404, 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 1.00 years of 79.7, 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
