By its overall health score, Pinckneyville, Illinois (ZIP 62274) lands in the bottom 31% nationally (22,183rd) and the bottom 17% of Illinois (1,135th).
Strengths and concerns sit side by side across the measures here: civic registers in the top 12.0% nationally. Distance to a nursing home sits at the national minimum, shared with about 27% of ZIPs. Crowded housing rests at the national minimum, shared with about 29% of ZIPs. On the other hand, modeled expected annual loss is in the top 6.2% nationally, binge drinking stands in the top 12.7% nationally, and short sleep settles in the top 14.4% nationally. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility lies at the national minimum, shared with about 31% of ZIPs. Modeled loneliness resides in the top 16% nationally, mammography lands in the bottom 14.9% nationally, and housing insecurity registers in the top 18% nationally.
Weighed against the ZIPs nearby, expected annual loss runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. To translate a couple of terms, 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. Overall, the nearest healthier neighbor is ZIP 62237, 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 1.13 years of 79.5, 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.
