Cave-In-Rock, Illinois (ZIP 62919), overall, ranks in the bottom 26% nationally (23,677th) and the bottom 11.4% of Illinois (1,213th).
Taken together, the data gives a genuinely mixed reading: housing-cost burden settles in the bottom 5.4% nationally, modeled pfas is in the bottom 5.9% nationally, and park land sits in the top 7.7% nationally. Modeled loud transportation noise lands at the national minimum, shared with about 22% of ZIPs. Modeled transportation noise lies in the bottom 11.2% nationally. Distance to a community health center stands at the national minimum, shared with about 23% of ZIPs. On the other side, modeled mammography rests in the bottom 7.4% nationally, and high cholesterol registers in the top 8.2% nationally. Distance to a nursing home resides in the top 11.7% nationally, and modeled coronary heart disease settles in the top 11.4% nationally.
Measured against the nearby ZIPs, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. 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. Loud transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to road, rail, and air noise at or above 65 decibels, near conversation volume. Transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to average road, rail, and air noise at or above 55 decibels. ZIP 62931, 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 2.25 years of 72.9, 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.
