On balance, and by the composite measure, Allendale, Illinois (ZIP 62410) ranks in the top 45% healthiest ZIPs nationally (14,306th) and the top 47% of Illinois (639th).
Taken together, the profile's clearest strengths surface right away: modeled pfas sits in the bottom 11.5% nationally, and homeownership rests in the top 13.9% nationally. Housing-cost burden is in the bottom 17% nationally. Outer-floodplain exposure stands at the national minimum, shared with about 36% of ZIPs. Against that, unemployment settles in the top 5.8% nationally. Fiber broadband lies at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Modeled binge drinking resides in the top 11.2% nationally.

Recreation sits at the national minimum, shared with about 35% of ZIPs.
In plainer 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. 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. Outer-floodplain exposure is land with a lower but real 1-in-500 chance of flooding each year, nicknamed the "500-year floodplain". For a healthier nearby ZIP overall, look to ZIP 62852, about 11 miles away.

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 3.59 years of 87.1, 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.
