On the composite measure, Keithsburg, Illinois (ZIP 61442) stands in the bottom 30% nationally (22,291st) and the bottom 17% of Illinois (1,138th).
A profile of give and take, with clear readings each way: households without a vehicle settles at the national minimum, shared with about 16% of ZIPs. Modeled transportation noise rests in the bottom 8.9% nationally. Modeled loud transportation noise lands at the national minimum, shared with about 22% of ZIPs. Crowded housing settles at the national minimum, shared with about 29% of ZIPs. On the other side, fiber broadband rests at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Modeled mammography lands in the bottom 10.4% nationally, unemployment settles in the top 11.4% nationally, and modeled arsenic rests in the top 12.4% nationally. Floodplain exposure lands in the top 13.6% nationally. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility settles at the national minimum, shared with about 31% of ZIPs.
For clarity, arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. 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 52646, 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 1.16 years of 78.6, 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.
