ZIP 48188, one of several in Canton, Michigan, by its overall standing, sits in the top 5.9% healthiest ZIPs nationally (1,887th) and the top 4.5% of Michigan (43rd).
Several good marks anchor the profile and deserve first mention: lead in tap water rests at the national minimum, modeled hearing disability lies in the bottom 5.0% nationally, and modeled mobility disability sits in the bottom 5.3% nationally. Modeled obesity settles in the bottom 9.4% nationally, cognitive disability registers in the bottom 5.4% nationally, and coronary heart disease stands in the bottom 6.3% nationally. Home broadband subscription lands in the top 8.7% nationally, and household income is in the top 8.8% nationally. Modeled independent living disability resides in the bottom 6.0% nationally. By contrast, modeled expected annual loss rests in the top 9.7% nationally.
Held up against its neighbors, park land runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Defined in plain terms, lead in tap water is the EPA trigger, 15 parts per billion in tap samples, above which a water system must act on lead. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. The nearest ZIP ranking healthier overall is ZIP 48105, about 3.4 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 0.83 years of 80.1, 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
