Full methodology ›The read
In overall standing, St. David, Illinois (ZIP 61563) comes out in the bottom 36% nationally (20,655th) and the bottom 24% of Illinois (1,038th).
The profile opens balanced, with readings on either hand: modeled disaster risk rests in the bottom 2.8% nationally, modeled expected annual loss lies in the bottom 3.2% nationally, and fiber broadband sits in the top 4.1% nationally. Walkability settles in the top 4.8% nationally, and homeownership registers in the top 8.6% nationally. By contrast, modeled mammography stands in the bottom 5.3% nationally, and distance to a community health center lands in the top 6.5% nationally. Modeled arsenic is in the top 10.9% nationally, and pfas resides in the top 13.0% nationally. Modeled tooth loss rests in the top 12.4% nationally.
Relative to the ZIPs around it, walkability runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In plain terms, 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. Arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. The nearest healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 61524, less than a tenth of a mile away.

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 1.63 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.
