In its overall standing, ZIP 48380, one of several in Milford, Michigan lands in the top 8.0% healthiest ZIPs nationally (2,553rd) and the top 6.1% of Michigan (59th).
Reading the numbers as a whole, this area's strong points come through first: modeled housing insecurity settles in the bottom 4.9% nationally, homeownership is in the top 5.1% nationally, and household income sits in the top 6.6% nationally. Modeled transportation lands in the bottom 5.9% nationally, food insecurity lies in the bottom 7.8% nationally, and short sleep stands in the bottom 7.5% nationally. Modeled colon screening rests in the top 5.3% nationally, and fatal road crashes registers in the bottom 9.9% nationally. Set against that, modeled pfas resides in the top 4.7% nationally.

Against the wider neighborhood, park land runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Put simply, 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. On the overall standing, ZIP 48165, just across the boundary, ranks healthier. In the round, the area also sits on the healthier half of the national range on at least seven of the ten good-life measures tracked here, from quiet and green space to nearby care, a combination reached by about one in twenty-five US ZIP codes.

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 0.89 years of 80.0, 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
