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
Taylor Springs, Illinois (ZIP 62089) ranks in the bottom 18% nationally (26,364th) and the bottom 5.2% of Illinois (1,297th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
The weightiest signals in the profile are worth naming up front: modeled loud transportation noise lands in the top 1.5% nationally, and mammography settles in the bottom 4.2% nationally. Modeled pfas rests in the top 3.8% nationally, and transportation noise lands in the top 4.2% nationally. Distance to a Superfund site settles in the bottom 4.7% nationally, and home broadband subscription rests in the bottom 8.1% nationally. More positively, modeled disaster risk lands in the bottom 5.9% nationally, fiber broadband settles in the top 7.9% nationally, and modeled expected annual loss rests in the bottom 12.4% nationally. Housing-cost burden lands in the bottom 13.2% nationally.
Against its neighbors, loud transportation noise runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For context, 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. Distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. 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 closest ZIP that ranks healthier 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 0.58 years of 74.7, 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. How distance is measured
