Recreation access

Higher is healthier
ST97thUS96thDefinition & source ›
The number of places for physical recreation — gyms, sports, and fitness venues — 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 ›The read
Reddick, Illinois (ZIP 60961) ranks in the top 45% healthiest ZIPs nationally (14,402nd) and the top 47% of Illinois (647th).
The bright spots in the data define much of the story here: recreation lands in the top 4.4% nationally, and homeownership settles in the top 7.9% nationally. Modeled disaster risk rests in the bottom 10.9% nationally, and floodplain exposure lands in the bottom 14.6% nationally. On the other side, fiber broadband settles at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Distance to a community health center rests in the top 11.4% nationally, distance to an emergency room lands in the top 11.7% nationally, and modeled mammography settles in the bottom 13.6% nationally. Modeled binge drinking rests in the top 13.4% nationally. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility lands at the national minimum, shared with about 31% of ZIPs.
For context, disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility is a plant handling large amounts of hazardous chemicals that must file an EPA risk-management plan for accidental releases. Distance to a community health center is a federally funded (HRSA) community health center serving everyone regardless of ability to pay. The closest ZIP that ranks healthier overall is ZIP 60935, 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 1.05 years of 79.3, 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.
