The read

Judged by its overall standing, Alhambra, Illinois (ZIP 62001) sits in the top 44% healthiest ZIPs nationally (13,959th) and the top 45% of Illinois (613th), based on limited data; treat as directional.

A healthy showing across the board, and a few measures carry it: childcare is in the top 7.5% nationally, and fiber broadband lies in the top 8.7% nationally. Distance to a nursing home registers at the national minimum, shared with about 27% of ZIPs. On the other hand, distance to a hazardous-chemical facility is at the national minimum, shared with about 31% of ZIPs. Home broadband subscription lies in the bottom 16% nationally.

Walkability lies in the bottom 20% nationally, and modeled binge drinking registers in the top 20% nationally. Park land is at the national minimum, shared with about 48% of ZIPs.

Put plainly, 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. A healthier nearby ZIP overall is ZIP 62025, just across the boundary.

Nearby & similar ZIPs

Editorially selected — see how this ZIP compares to nearby and similar places.

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 1.00 years of 77.4, and it’s very unlikely to be off by more than twice that.

Statistically similar ZIPs nationally

Similar means a ZIP whose health profile is shaped like this one’s — the same pattern of strengths and weaknesses across the nine health domains behind the Score, not similar demographics or income. The percentage is how closely the two patterns line up. A very similar ZIP can still have a different overall Score.

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.
