Judged by its overall standing, Taylor Ridge, Illinois (ZIP 61284) sits in the top 24% healthiest ZIPs nationally (7,605th) and the top 21% of Illinois (282nd).
A few measures carry most of this area's good news: modeled transportation settles in the bottom 9.9% nationally. Modeled loud transportation noise lands at the national minimum, shared with about 22% of ZIPs. Modeled cognitive disability rests in the bottom 11.4% nationally, and utility shutoff settles in the bottom 13.5% nationally. Modeled food insecurity lands in the bottom 13.5% nationally, and housing insecurity rests in the bottom 14.3% nationally. Modeled pfas settles in the bottom 14.5% nationally. Set against that, modeled radon lands in the top 12.8% nationally, and arsenic rests in the top 16% nationally. Recreation settles at the national minimum, shared with about 35% of ZIPs.
Put plainly, radon is a radioactive soil gas the EPA identifies as the top cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers. 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. Arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. A healthier nearby ZIP overall is ZIP 61259, 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 1.39 years of 81.0, 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.
