ST12thUS7thDefinition & 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.
Full methodology ›Floodplain exposure
29.6%
in the top 10.3% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST91stUS90thDefinition & source ›
The share of this ZIP’s land area inside FEMA’s 1%-annual-chance floodplain — the “100-year” flood zone, where flooding has about a 1-in-100 chance in any given year.
Measured from FEMA’s mapped flood panels. Where a panel has not been mapped, no value is published for that ZIP — those ZIPs are absent from this comparison rather than counted as unexposed.
Full methodology ›Median household income
$115,577

The middle household income in this ZIP — half of households earn more, half earn less — in dollars per year.

Lower is healthier
ST91stUS87thDefinition & source ›
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 ›Tooth loss

Full methodology ›The read
By the composite health measure, Rockport, Illinois (ZIP 62370) ranks in the bottom 31% nationally (22,175th) and the bottom 17% of Illinois (1,132nd).
The picture here is genuinely mixed, with readings on both sides: housing-cost burden lies in the bottom 5.0% nationally, and modeled pfas lands in the bottom 7.2% nationally. Households without a vehicle sits at the national minimum, shared with about 16% of ZIPs. Household income is in the top 11.2% nationally. Outer-floodplain exposure settles at the national minimum, shared with about 36% of ZIPs. Modeled industrial-pollution burden resides in the bottom 18% nationally. On the other side, modeled mammography registers in the bottom 5.5% nationally. Fiber broadband rests at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Floodplain exposure stands in the top 10.3% nationally, and modeled energy burden lies in the top 13.3% nationally.
To spell things out, 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. Industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Floodplain exposure is land with about a 1-in-100 chance of flooding each year, nicknamed the "100-year floodplain". Close by, ZIP 62356, 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 1.18 years of 77.7, 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
