The lead level at the 90th percentile of tap-water samples reported by the public water systems serving this ZIP, in parts per billion — the EPA requires action above 15 ppb.
Measured from EPA records for the public water systems that serve this ZIP. Households on private wells — roughly 30% of the US population — are not covered by this measure, and this figure says nothing about their water.

In its overall standing, Mapleton, Illinois (ZIP 61547) lands in the top 34% healthiest ZIPs nationally (10,963rd) and the top 32% of Illinois (435th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
This area's strengths are easy to pick out across the measures: homeownership stands in the top 6.3% nationally, and housing-cost burden rests in the bottom 13.9% nationally. Crowded housing registers at the national minimum, shared with about 29% of ZIPs. Poverty resides in the bottom 16% nationally, and modeled transportation settles in the bottom 19% nationally. Household income is in the top 14.3% nationally. Working the other way, lead in tap water sits in the top 4.8% nationally, and modeled radon lands in the top 14.1% nationally. Modeled pfas lies in the top 14.0% nationally. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility stands at the national minimum, shared with about 31% of ZIPs.
Against the wider neighborhood, park land runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Put simply, lead in tap water is the EPA trigger, 15 parts per billion in tap samples, above which a water system must act on lead. Radon is a radioactive soil gas the EPA identifies as the top cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers. 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. On the overall standing, ZIP 61536, just across the boundary, ranks healthier.

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 0.95 years of 79.8, 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.
