The read
By its overall health score, New Haven, Illinois (ZIP 62867) lands in the bottom 21% nationally (25,441st) and the bottom 7.1% of Illinois (1,272nd).
The burdens that read clearest in the data come first: unemployment rests in the top 0.4% nationally, and floodplain exposure is in the top 0.8% nationally. Households without a vehicle stands in the top 4.9% nationally, and home broadband subscription settles in the bottom 8.9% nationally. Fiber broadband lies at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Household income resides in the bottom 4.1% nationally, distance to an emergency room lands in the top 12.4% nationally, and modeled colon screening registers in the bottom 11.4% nationally. Crowded housing sits in the top 14.9% nationally. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility rests at the national minimum, shared with about 31% of ZIPs.
Weighed against the ZIPs nearby, unemployment runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. To translate a couple of terms, 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". Overall, the nearest healthier neighbor is ZIP 47620, 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 1.18 years of 76.1, 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.
