Full methodology ›The read
Eagarville, Illinois (ZIP 62023), in overall standing, comes out in the bottom 27% nationally (23,421st) and the bottom 12.0% of Illinois (1,204th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
The profile carries real weight, and several readings make that plain: modeled pfas sits in the top 4.3% nationally, unemployment stands in the top 4.7% nationally, and home broadband subscription resides in the bottom 7.6% nationally. Modeled arsenic sits in the top 8.7% nationally. Fiber broadband stands at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Better still, modeled transportation noise resides at the national minimum, and homeownership sits at the national maximum. Modeled disaster risk stands in the bottom 3.1% nationally. Modeled loud transportation noise resides at the national minimum, shared with about 22% of ZIPs. Modeled expected annual loss sits in the bottom 11.1% nationally.
Defined simply, for reference, disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. 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. Arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. The closest healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 62009, 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 1.25 years of 77.1, 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
