Full methodology ›The read
On balance, and by the composite measure, Mansfield, Illinois (ZIP 61854) ranks in the top 18% healthiest ZIPs nationally (5,914th) and the top 16% of Illinois (220th).
The profile opens on a set of genuinely favorable readings: modeled transportation lands in the bottom 8.7% nationally, and utility shutoff registers in the bottom 9.7% nationally. Modeled food insecurity sits in the bottom 10.4% nationally, and housing insecurity rests in the bottom 12.3% nationally. Modeled cognitive disability is in the bottom 12.1% nationally, and pfas stands in the bottom 13.9% nationally. Crowded housing settles at the national minimum, shared with about 29% of ZIPs. On the other side, modeled arsenic lies in the top 2.7% nationally, binge drinking resides in the top 10.5% nationally, and radon lands in the top 14.6% nationally.
In plainer terms, 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. 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. For a healthier nearby ZIP overall, look to ZIP 61843, 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 1.59 years of 79.7, 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
