By the composite health measure, Summerfield, Illinois (ZIP 62289) ranks in the top 27% healthiest ZIPs nationally (8,728th) and the top 24% of Illinois (324th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
The signals balance out across the profile, strengths against concerns: modeled disaster risk rests in the bottom 5.1% nationally, and transportation noise stands in the bottom 10.9% nationally. Modeled loud transportation noise lies at the national minimum, shared with about 22% of ZIPs. Crowded housing lands at the national minimum, shared with about 29% of ZIPs. Modeled expected annual loss sits in the bottom 14.5% nationally. Set against that, unemployment is in the top 1.2% nationally, and modeled binge drinking settles in the top 7.4% nationally. Fiber broadband resides at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Modeled arsenic registers in the top 12.8% nationally, and household income rests in the bottom 11.3% nationally.
Read against the ZIPs closest to it, park land runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. To spell things out, disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Close by, ZIP 62254, just across the boundary, ranks healthier overall.

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 1.02 years of 76.7, 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.
