By its overall health score, ZIP 48050, one of several in New Haven, Michigan lands in the top 32% healthiest ZIPs nationally (10,244th) and the top 30% of Michigan (294th).
Taken together, the profile's clearest strengths surface right away: modeled disaster risk is in the bottom 6.1% nationally, and poverty stands in the bottom 8.3% nationally. Housing-cost burden settles in the bottom 11.1% nationally, and modeled colon screening lies in the top 10.6% nationally. Crowded housing resides at the national minimum, shared with about 29% of ZIPs. Outer-floodplain exposure lands at the national minimum, shared with about 36% of ZIPs. Against that, fiber broadband registers at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Walkability sits in the bottom 12.2% nationally, modeled arsenic rests in the top 12.3% nationally, and distance to an emergency room is in the top 16% nationally.
To translate a couple of terms, disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. Outer-floodplain exposure is land with a lower but real 1-in-500 chance of flooding each year, nicknamed the "500-year floodplain". Overall, the nearest healthier neighbor is ZIP 48005, 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 1.88 years of 78.8, 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.
