Arsenic in groundwater
53.1%
in the top 0.6% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST98thUS99thDefinition & source ›
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 ›Energy-cost burden
5.6%
in the top 4.6% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST98thUS95thDefinition & source ›
The modeled share of household income spent on home energy bills — electricity, gas, and heating fuels.
A modeled share of household income spent on home energy. Estimates that hit the model’s 100% ceiling are suppressed rather than published, because at that point the figure reflects the model’s limit rather than a measured burden.

Full methodology ›The read
Hume, Illinois (ZIP 61932), on the composite measure, lands in the bottom 42% nationally (18,641st) and the bottom 32% of Illinois (924th).
The main burdens in the data show plainly and lead the picture: modeled arsenic is in the top 0.6% nationally, modeled energy burden rests in the top 4.6% nationally, and distance to a community health center sits in the top 7.8% nationally. Modeled tree cover registers in the bottom 11.4% nationally, home broadband subscription lands in the bottom 15% nationally, and distance to an emergency room resides in the top 16% nationally. Modeled radon lies in the top 17% nationally. Recreation settles at the national minimum, shared with about 35% of ZIPs. More positively, housing-cost burden stands in the bottom 10.8% nationally, and modeled expected annual loss is in the bottom 14.4% nationally.
Set against the neighboring ZIPs, arsenic runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In everyday language, arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Radon is a radioactive soil gas the EPA identifies as the top cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers. A healthier neighbor overall sits at ZIP 61810, 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 1.84 years of 79.8, 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.
