The read
On the composite measure, Trenton, Illinois (ZIP 62293) stands in the top 27% healthiest ZIPs nationally (8,620th) and the top 23% of Illinois (313th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
The strongest marks in the data are worth naming first: dental providers lies in the top 15% nationally, and modeled tooth loss is in the bottom 13.0% nationally. Housing-cost burden registers in the bottom 18% nationally, and modeled transportation lies in the bottom 19% nationally. Modeled cognitive disability is in the bottom 18% nationally, and food insecurity registers in the bottom 19% nationally. On the other side, modeled binge drinking lies in the top 11.9% nationally. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility is at the national minimum, shared with about 31% of ZIPs. Lead in tap water registers in the top 19% nationally, and modeled expected annual loss lies in the top 19% nationally.
For clarity, 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. Lead in tap water is the EPA trigger, 15 parts per billion in tap samples, above which a water system must act on lead. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. ZIP 62249, just across the boundary, ranks better overall among the ZIPs nearby.

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 0.59 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.
