Civic-institution access
0.84 per 1,000 residents
in the top 5.7% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST95thUS94thDefinition & source ›
The number of civic and social organizations inside this ZIP’s boundary, per 1,000 residents.
Counted from establishments located inside this ZIP’s boundary, so one just across the line is not counted. Where a ZIP has too few residents for the density to be reliable, no value is published rather than an unreliable one.

in the bottom 7.6% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST12thUS8thDefinition & source ›
The modeled probability that PFAS “forever chemicals” would be detected in untreated groundwater in this area, the source private wells draw on.
A modeled likelihood for untreated groundwater, the source drawn on by private wells, which are federally unregulated. It is not a measurement of treated water delivered by a public system, and it is not a test of any individual well.

Higher is healthier
ST93rdUS89thDefinition & source ›
The number of outpatient clinics located inside this ZIP’s boundary, per 1,000 residents.

Full methodology ›The read
By its overall health score, Liberty, Illinois (ZIP 62347) lands in the top 39% healthiest ZIPs nationally (12,459th) and the top 38% of Illinois (519th).
A number of signals point in a favorable direction for this area: civic settles in the top 5.7% nationally, and modeled pfas lies in the bottom 7.6% nationally. Households without a vehicle resides at the national minimum, shared with about 16% of ZIPs. Homeownership lands in the top 8.9% nationally, outpatient registers in the top 10.7% nationally, and modeled transportation noise sits in the bottom 13.3% nationally. Floodplain exposure rests in the bottom 13.3% nationally. Working the other way, modeled binge drinking is in the top 7.9% nationally, modeled radon stands in the top 10.7% nationally, and distance to a Superfund site settles in the bottom 9.8% nationally.
To translate a couple of terms, 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. Radon is a radioactive soil gas the EPA identifies as the top cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers. Distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. Overall, the nearest healthier neighbor is ZIP 62305, 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 0.84 years of 80.4, 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
