Willisville, Illinois (ZIP 62997), by its composite score, sits in the bottom 43% nationally (18,387th) and the bottom 34% of Illinois (902nd).
The data opens on real and measurable burdens: modeled mammography registers in the bottom 8.3% nationally, and distance to a community health center settles in the top 8.8% nationally. Fiber broadband sits at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Distance to a nursing home lies in the top 10.2% nationally, and modeled binge drinking rests in the top 9.3% nationally. More encouragingly, walkability resides in the top 2.2% nationally, modeled disaster risk is in the bottom 3.0% nationally, and floodplain exposure lands at the national minimum. Modeled expected annual loss stands in the bottom 7.0% nationally. Modeled loud transportation noise registers at the national minimum, shared with about 22% of ZIPs.
Next to the surrounding area, walkability runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For anyone unfamiliar, 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. 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 62238, about 1.2 miles away.

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 2.48 years of 81.9, 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.
