Unemployment rate

ST96thUS96thDefinition & source ›
The share of the civilian labor force that is unemployed.
Full methodology ›Civic-institution access

Higher is healthier
ST97thUS96thDefinition & 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.
Full methodology ›Mammography

ST3rdUS6thDefinition & source ›
The estimated share of women aged 50–74 who had a mammogram within the past two years.
Full methodology ›Floodplain exposure

in the top 7.6% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST94thUS92ndDefinition & 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 ›Transportation noise
0.25%
in the bottom 11.3% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST8thUS11thDefinition & source ›
The modeled share of residents exposed to average road, rail, and aviation noise at or above 55 decibels — a noticeable background presence.

Full methodology ›The read
St. Francisville, Illinois (ZIP 62460), by its composite score, sits in the bottom 25% nationally (23,967th) and the bottom 11.0% of Illinois (1,218th).
The measures land in both directions, and neither dominates: civic rests in the top 4.3% nationally, and modeled transportation noise resides in the bottom 11.3% nationally. Outer-floodplain exposure is at the national minimum, shared with about 36% of ZIPs. Pulling the other way, unemployment lands in the top 3.9% nationally, modeled mammography stands in the bottom 5.9% nationally, and floodplain exposure registers in the top 7.6% nationally. Fiber broadband settles at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Distance to a Superfund site sits in the bottom 13.6% nationally. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility lies at the national minimum, shared with about 31% of ZIPs. Recreation rests at the national minimum, shared with about 35% of ZIPs.
For anyone unfamiliar, distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. 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. Floodplain exposure is land with about a 1-in-100 chance of flooding each year, nicknamed the "100-year floodplain". For a healthier comparison close by, see ZIP 47591, 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 0.78 years of 73.7, 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.
