On the composite measure, Tampico, Illinois (ZIP 61283) stands in the top 49% healthiest ZIPs nationally (15,716th) and the bottom 47% of Illinois (730th).
The strongest marks in the data are worth naming first: modeled transportation noise resides in the bottom 7.9% nationally. Modeled loud transportation noise stands at the national minimum, shared with about 22% of ZIPs. Modeled pfas sits in the bottom 13.1% nationally. Crowded housing resides at the national minimum, shared with about 29% of ZIPs. Households without a vehicle stands in the bottom 17% nationally. On the other side, fiber broadband sits at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Home broadband subscription resides in the bottom 14.3% nationally. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility stands at the national minimum, shared with about 31% of ZIPs. Modeled binge drinking sits in the top 14.1% nationally, and mammography resides in the bottom 14.9% nationally.
Set beside the wider area around it, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For clarity, pfas is the man-made "forever chemicals" that build up in the body and environment instead of breaking down; here a modeled estimate of the chance a private well contains them. 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. Transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to average road, rail, and air noise at or above 55 decibels. ZIP 61277, just across the boundary, ranks better overall among the ZIPs nearby.

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 1.02 years of 80.5, 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.
