Full methodology ›The read
In its overall standing, Tennessee, Illinois (ZIP 62374) lands in the bottom 30% nationally (22,544th) and the bottom 16% of Illinois (1,153rd), based on limited data; treat as directional.
Reading the numbers as a whole, the picture lands somewhere in between: housing-cost burden is in the bottom 6.1% nationally, fiber broadband sits in the top 7.9% nationally, and modeled pfas lands in the bottom 9.4% nationally. Home broadband subscription lies in the top 16% nationally. On the other side, modeled loud transportation noise stands in the top 5.7% nationally, and arsenic rests in the top 7.4% nationally. Distance to a community health center registers in the top 8.2% nationally, and crowded housing resides in the top 12.3% nationally. Unemployment settles in the top 16% nationally, and slow internet speeds is in the top 16% nationally.
Put simply, arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. 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. Loud transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to road, rail, and air noise at or above 65 decibels, near conversation volume. On the overall standing, ZIP 62321, just across the boundary, ranks healthier.

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 1.24 years of 78.3, 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.
