The modeled probability that untreated groundwater in this area — the source private wells draw on — exceeds the federal arsenic limit of 10 micrograms per liter.
A modeled likelihood for untreated groundwater, the source drawn on by private wells, which are federally unregulated. It is not a measurement of treated water delivered by a public system, and it is not a test of any individual well.

Full methodology ›The read
In overall standing, Ivesdale, Illinois (ZIP 61851) comes out in the top 24% healthiest ZIPs nationally (7,579th) and the top 20% of Illinois (280th).
Both sides of the picture show up plainly in this area's numbers: homeownership lies in the top 10.6% nationally, modeled transportation sits in the bottom 12.4% nationally, and modeled food insecurity settles in the bottom 14.8% nationally. Modeled utility shutoff registers in the bottom 16% nationally. By contrast, modeled arsenic stands in the top 1.3% nationally, and binge drinking lands in the top 8.8% nationally. Modeled tree cover is in the bottom 10.8% nationally, and walkability resides in the bottom 11.2% nationally. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility rests at the national minimum, shared with about 31% of ZIPs. Modeled radon lies in the top 17% nationally.
In plain terms, arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. 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. Radon is a radioactive soil gas the EPA identifies as the top cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers. The nearest healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 61856, 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 1.11 years of 80.9, 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.
