The read

In its overall standing, Manito, Illinois (ZIP 61546) lands in the bottom 47% nationally (17,125th) and the bottom 42% of Illinois (800th).

Taken together, the data gives a genuinely mixed reading: pharmacy resides in the top 18% nationally, housing-cost burden settles in the bottom 19% nationally, and distance to a Superfund site is in the top 20% nationally. On the other side, modeled arsenic sits in the top 10.3% nationally, and radon lands in the top 15% nationally. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility lies at the national minimum, shared with about 31% of ZIPs. Recreation stands at the national minimum, shared with about 35% of ZIPs. Floodplain exposure rests in the top 20% nationally. Childcare registers at the national minimum, shared with about 42% of ZIPs. Modeled mammography resides in the bottom 20% nationally.

Against the wider neighborhood, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Put simply, arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. Radon is a radioactive soil gas the EPA identifies as the top cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers. 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. On the overall standing, ZIP 61533, just across the boundary, ranks healthier.

Nearby & similar ZIPs

Editorially selected — see how this ZIP compares to nearby and similar places.

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 1.24 years of 77.7, and it’s very unlikely to be off by more than twice that.

Statistically similar ZIPs nationally

Similar means a ZIP whose health profile is shaped like this one’s — the same pattern of strengths and weaknesses across the nine health domains behind the Score, not similar demographics or income. The percentage is how closely the two patterns line up. A very similar ZIP can still have a different overall Score.

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.
