Jerseyville, Illinois (ZIP 62052), by its overall standing, sits in the top 46% healthiest ZIPs nationally (14,734th) and the top 49% of Illinois (669th).
Several good marks anchor the profile and deserve first mention: distance to an emergency room registers at the national minimum, shared with about 11% of ZIPs. Elder services stands in the top 9.3% nationally, and pharmacy lands in the top 12.3% nationally. Distance to a nursing home is at the national minimum, shared with about 27% of ZIPs. Subsidized affordable housing resides in the top 13.6% nationally, and floodplain exposure rests in the bottom 15% nationally. Civic lies in the top 17% nationally. By contrast, modeled radon sits in the top 12.2% nationally, and expected annual loss settles in the top 13.1% nationally. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility registers at the national minimum, shared with about 31% of ZIPs.
Defined in plain terms, radon is a radioactive soil gas the EPA identifies as the top cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. 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. The nearest ZIP ranking healthier overall is ZIP 62012, 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 0.64 years of 75.7, 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.
