PFAS in drinking water

ST99thUS99thDefinition & source ›
The share of residents served by public water systems where PFAS — man-made “forever chemicals” that build up in the body and environment instead of breaking down — were detected in EPA testing.
Measured from EPA records for the public water systems that serve this ZIP. Households on private wells — roughly 30% of the US population — are not covered by this measure, and this figure says nothing about their water.

In overall standing, Donnellson, Illinois (ZIP 62019) comes out in the bottom 28% nationally (23,198th) and the bottom 13.5% of Illinois (1,184th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
The measures fall on both sides of the ledger for this area: modeled industrial-pollution burden sits in the bottom 8.2% nationally, and housing-cost burden settles in the bottom 13.7% nationally. Crowded housing registers at the national minimum, shared with about 29% of ZIPs. Modeled disaster risk stands in the bottom 18% nationally. Set against that, PFAS in drinking water lands at the national maximum. Fiber broadband is at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Modeled mammography resides in the bottom 9.4% nationally, and distance to a community health center rests in the top 17% nationally. Poverty lies in the top 18% nationally, and lead in tap water sits in the top 20% nationally.
In plain terms, PFAS in drinking water is the family of man-made "forever chemicals" that build up in the body and environment instead of breaking down. Industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. The nearest healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 62049, 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 0.88 years of 76.4, 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.
