Kingston Mines, Illinois (ZIP 61539), by its composite score, sits in the bottom 46% nationally (17,341st) and the bottom 41% of Illinois (811th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
The measures that matter most for this area lead the way: modeled loud transportation noise registers in the top 2.1% nationally, and pfas settles in the top 5.1% nationally. Modeled transportation noise sits in the top 13.2% nationally. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility lies at the national minimum, shared with about 31% of ZIPs. Modeled mammography rests in the bottom 15% nationally, and binge drinking resides in the top 16% nationally. On the better side, fiber broadband is in the top 6.9% nationally. Unemployment lands at the national minimum, shared with about 15% of ZIPs. Modeled disaster risk stands in the bottom 10.4% nationally, and expected annual loss registers in the bottom 10.8% nationally.
For anyone unfamiliar, 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. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. For a healthier comparison close by, see ZIP 61533, 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 1.43 years of 78.2, 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.
