The number of dental offices located inside this ZIP’s boundary, per 1,000 residents.

Full methodology ›The read
By the composite health measure, ZIP 48080, one of several in Saint Clair Shores, Michigan ranks in the top 27% healthiest ZIPs nationally (8,773rd) and the top 25% of Michigan (245th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
A number of measures place this area on solid footing: dental providers lies in the top 3.6% nationally, and pharmacy lands in the top 3.6% nationally. Physicians sits in the top 4.7% nationally, and walkability is in the top 11.8% nationally. Modeled colon screening settles in the top 9.9% nationally. Distance to a nursing home resides at the national minimum, shared with about 27% of ZIPs. By contrast, modeled tree cover registers at the national minimum, distance to a Superfund site rests in the bottom 5.2% nationally, and modeled loud transportation noise stands in the top 6.3% nationally. Modeled expected annual loss lies in the top 13.0% nationally.
Read against the ZIPs closest to it, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. To spell things out, distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. 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. Close by, ZIP 48081, just across the boundary, ranks 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 0.62 years of 76.7, 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. How distance is measured
