The share of this ZIP’s land area inside FEMA’s 0.2%-annual-chance flood band — the “500-year” zone, a lower but real 1-in-500 yearly chance.
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 ›The read
Tovey, Illinois (ZIP 62570) ranks in the top 48% healthiest ZIPs nationally (15,472nd) and the bottom 48% of Illinois (717th).
The bright spots in the data define much of the story here: modeled disaster risk rests in the bottom 7.5% nationally, and expected annual loss lands in the bottom 10.0% nationally. Modeled loud transportation noise settles at the national minimum, shared with about 22% of ZIPs. Modeled transportation noise rests in the bottom 11.5% nationally, housing-cost burden lands in the bottom 12.6% nationally, and homeownership settles in the top 18% nationally. On the other side, outer-floodplain exposure rests in the top 10.2% nationally, modeled binge drinking lands in the top 13.4% nationally, and modeled tree cover settles in the bottom 17% nationally. Recreation rests at the national minimum, shared with about 35% of ZIPs.
Against its neighbors, outer-floodplain exposure runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For context, disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Outer-floodplain exposure is land with a lower but real 1-in-500 chance of flooding each year, nicknamed the "500-year floodplain". The closest ZIP that ranks healthier overall is ZIP 62558, 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 1.14 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.
