Dahinda, Illinois (ZIP 61428), in overall standing, comes out in the top 34% healthiest ZIPs nationally (10,897th) and the top 32% of Illinois (433rd).
The measures that most flatter this area set the tone for the rest: homeownership registers in the top 8.1% nationally, modeled pfas is in the bottom 10.7% nationally, and recreation lies in the top 11.4% nationally. Fiber broadband registers in the top 11.7% nationally, and modeled disaster risk is in the bottom 16% nationally. Outer-floodplain exposure lies at the national minimum, shared with about 36% of ZIPs. Modeled transportation registers in the bottom 19% nationally. Against that, modeled radon is in the top 18% nationally, and arsenic lies in the top 17% nationally. Physicians registers at the national minimum, shared with about 38% of ZIPs.
Defined simply, for reference, 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. Disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Radon is a radioactive soil gas the EPA identifies as the top cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers. The closest healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 61485, 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 1.30 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.
