Reading the numbers as a whole, the picture lands somewhere in between: modeled transportation noise sits in the bottom 9.8% nationally. Modeled loud transportation noise lands at the national minimum, shared with about 22% of ZIPs. Modeled humid heat lies in the bottom 11.2% nationally, and disaster risk stands in the bottom 11.9% nationally. On the other side, modeled coronary heart disease rests in the top 6.0% nationally, and hearing disability registers in the top 7.5% nationally. Walkability resides in the bottom 7.9% nationally. Fiber broadband settles at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Modeled stroke is in the top 12.8% nationally, and home broadband subscription sits in the bottom 14.8% 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. Transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to average road, rail, and air noise at or above 55 decibels. 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. ZIP 48703, just across the boundary, comes out healthier overall.

Nearby & similar ZIPs

Editorially selected — see how this ZIP compares to nearby and similar places.

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 1.21 years of 78.3, 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.
