Full methodology ›The read
By the composite health measure, Ophiem, Illinois (ZIP 61468) ranks in the bottom 47% nationally (16,999th) and the bottom 42% of Illinois (794th).
Several measures weigh most on this area's profile, and they come first: poverty resides in the top 0.7% nationally, and modeled loud transportation noise registers in the top 2.2% nationally. Housing-cost burden rests in the top 4.7% nationally, and slow internet speeds stands in the top 4.8% nationally. Distance to a nursing home lies in the top 5.6% nationally, and modeled transportation noise lands in the top 6.4% nationally. On the better side, homeownership sits at the national maximum, modeled pfas is in the bottom 3.0% nationally, and modeled expected annual loss settles in the bottom 5.3% nationally. Modeled disaster risk resides in the bottom 6.9% nationally.
Read against the ZIPs closest to it, slow internet speeds runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. To spell things out, 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. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Close by, ZIP 61262, just across the boundary, ranks healthier overall.

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 1.65 years of 80.4, 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. How distance is measured
