Full methodology ›The read
Overall, Seymour, Illinois (ZIP 61875) places in the top 17% healthiest ZIPs nationally (5,484th) and the top 15% of Illinois (206th).
The measures land in both directions, and neither dominates: home broadband subscription lies at the national maximum. Unemployment rests at the national minimum, shared with about 15% of ZIPs. Modeled pfas resides in the bottom 11.2% nationally, household income is in the top 10.0% nationally, and modeled tooth loss lands in the bottom 8.7% nationally. Crowded housing stands at the national minimum, shared with about 29% of ZIPs. Modeled cognitive disability registers in the bottom 14.4% nationally, and transportation settles in the bottom 17% nationally. Pulling the other way, modeled arsenic sits in the top 1.2% nationally, and binge drinking lies in the top 7.9% nationally.
For readers new to these terms, arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. 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. Among nearby ZIPs, the nearest healthier one overall is ZIP 61822, 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 1.79 years of 83.3, 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
