Parkersburg, Illinois (ZIP 62452), overall, ranks in the top 46% healthiest ZIPs nationally (14,670th) and the top 49% of Illinois (665th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
This area's strengths are easy to pick out across the measures: housing-cost burden lands in the bottom 10.1% nationally, homeownership lies in the top 10.7% nationally, and modeled pfas stands in the bottom 11.3% nationally. Unemployment rests in the bottom 19% nationally, modeled colon screening registers in the top 17% nationally, and modeled disaster risk resides in the bottom 21% nationally. Working the other way, fiber broadband settles at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Modeled binge drinking is in the top 12.7% nationally, and distance to a nursing home sits in the top 14.6% nationally. Distance to a community health center lands in the top 22% nationally.
Defined simply, 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. Disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Distance to a community health center is a federally funded (HRSA) community health center serving everyone regardless of ability to pay. ZIP 62419, just across the boundary, comes out 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 1.88 years of 81.7, 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.
