Full methodology ›The read
In overall standing, Goodfield, Illinois (ZIP 61742) comes out in the top 19% healthiest ZIPs nationally (5,978th) and the top 16% of Illinois (222nd).
The measures fall on both sides of the ledger for this area: modeled disaster risk is in the bottom 9.0% nationally, transportation resides in the bottom 11.1% nationally, and food insecurity rests in the bottom 12.2% nationally. Modeled fair or poor health lies in the bottom 11.9% nationally, homeownership sits in the top 14.2% nationally, and distance to a Superfund site settles in the top 14.3% nationally. Modeled cognitive disability registers in the bottom 12.8% nationally. Set against that, modeled arsenic stands in the top 0.9% nationally, and binge drinking lands in the top 7.9% nationally. Distance to a community health center is in the top 12.6% nationally.
In plain terms, arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. Disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. The nearest healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 61729, 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 1.80 years of 82.9, 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
