Full methodology ›The read
Batavia, Illinois (ZIP 60510), on the composite measure, lands in the top 9.4% healthiest ZIPs nationally (2,985th) and the top 8.0% of Illinois (109th).
The readings split fairly evenly between strengths and concerns: modeled transportation registers in the bottom 5.1% nationally, food insecurity lands in the bottom 6.6% nationally, and cognitive disability resides in the bottom 4.7% nationally. Modeled utility shutoff lies in the bottom 8.6% nationally, and fair or poor health settles in the bottom 6.3% nationally. Working the other way, modeled air-toxics cancer risk stands in the top 1.4% nationally, and expected annual loss is in the top 3.5% nationally. Distance to a Superfund site rests in the bottom 5.6% nationally, and modeled pfas sits in the top 6.5% nationally. Lead in tap water registers in the top 7.1% nationally.
Set against the neighboring ZIPs, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In everyday language, air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. A healthier neighbor overall sits at ZIP 60119, just across the boundary.

Findings that name this ZIP
2 of our published findings list this ZIP code. Each finding compares one published measure against a stated benchmark, and names only the ZIP codes whose estimates are reliable enough to rank. See all surprising findings.

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 0.86 years of 82.3, 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
