Fatal road crashes

in the bottom 9.5% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST6thUS9thDefinition & 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.

Ida, Michigan (ZIP 48140), overall, ranks in the top 26% healthiest ZIPs nationally (8,218th) and the top 24% of Michigan (233rd).
This area's most favorable readings come through plainly in the numbers: fatal road crashes is in the bottom 9.5% nationally, homeownership sits in the top 10.2% nationally, and modeled disaster risk lands in the bottom 12.2% nationally. Poverty lies in the bottom 15% nationally, modeled food insecurity stands in the bottom 16% nationally, and modeled uninsured rests in the bottom 6.3% nationally. Modeled colon screening registers in the top 14.2% nationally. On the other side, walkability resides in the bottom 12.0% nationally, and modeled industrial-pollution burden settles in the top 16% nationally. Modeled pfas is in the top 17% nationally.
Measured against the nearby ZIPs, park land runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Defined simply, disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. 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. ZIP 48131, 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 2.01 years of 80.8, 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.
