Arsenic in groundwater
20%
in the top 6.5% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST84thUS94thDefinition & source ›
The modeled probability that untreated groundwater in this area — the source private wells draw on — exceeds the federal arsenic limit of 10 micrograms per liter.
A modeled likelihood for untreated groundwater, the source drawn on by private wells, which are federally unregulated. It is not a measurement of treated water delivered by a public system, and it is not a test of any individual well.
Full methodology ›Fatal road crashes
38.3 per 100,000 residents per year
in the top 7.7% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST97thUS92ndDefinition & source ›
The annual rate of fatal road crashes per 100,000 residents, pooled over a ten-year window.
A rate per resident population. Where a ZIP has too few residents for the rate to be reliable — about 30% of US ZIPs — no value is published rather than an unstable one; those ZIPs are absent from this comparison, not counted as crash-free.
Full methodology ›Homeownership rate
94.7%
in the top 9.1% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST90thUS91stDefinition & source ›
The share of occupied homes that are owned, rather than rented, by the people living in them.
Full methodology ›The read
In its overall standing, Casco, Michigan (ZIP 48064) lands in the top 39% healthiest ZIPs nationally (12,439th) and the top 39% of Michigan (376th).
This area's most favorable readings come through plainly in the numbers: homeownership lands in the top 9.1% nationally, floodplain exposure lies in the bottom 14.1% nationally, and recreation stands in the top 15% nationally. Modeled disaster risk rests in the bottom 17% nationally, colon screening registers in the top 17% nationally, and tooth loss resides in the bottom 20% nationally. On the other side, modeled arsenic settles in the top 6.5% nationally, and fatal road crashes is in the top 7.7% nationally. Physicians sits at the national minimum, shared with about 38% of ZIPs. Childcare lands at the national minimum, shared with about 42% of ZIPs.
Put simply, arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. Disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Floodplain exposure is land with about a 1-in-100 chance of flooding each year, nicknamed the "100-year floodplain". On the overall standing, ZIP 48023, just across the boundary, ranks healthier.

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 2.10 years of 75.2, 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.
