The number of places for physical recreation — gyms, sports, and fitness venues — inside this ZIP’s boundary, per 1,000 residents.
Counted from establishments located inside this ZIP’s boundary, so one just across the line is not counted. Where a ZIP has too few residents for the density to be reliable, no value is published rather than an unreliable one.

Twining, Michigan (ZIP 48766), on the composite measure, lands in the bottom 34% nationally (21,313th) and the bottom 23% of Michigan (749th).
The profile cuts both ways, and the readings bear that out: park land settles in the top 8.9% nationally. Modeled loud transportation noise stands at the national minimum, shared with about 22% of ZIPs. Modeled disaster risk is in the bottom 11.4% nationally, and humid heat rests in the bottom 11.5% nationally. Recreation sits in the top 12.0% nationally, and distance to a hazardous-chemical facility registers in the top 17% nationally. Working the other way, fiber broadband lands at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Modeled arsenic resides in the top 11.1% nationally, and households without a vehicle lies in the top 13.9% nationally. Walkability settles in the bottom 17% nationally.
Set against the neighboring ZIPs, park land runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In everyday language, arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. Disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility is a plant handling large amounts of hazardous chemicals that must file an EPA risk-management plan for accidental releases. A healthier neighbor overall sits at ZIP 48659, just across the boundary.

Clean environment, heavy chronic burden
Where the environment and chronic illness point in opposite directions
Environmental-hazard standing 94.8 (top 10%); chronic-disease standing 21.8 — 73 points apart, cleaner on the environment than it is on chronic illness.
Ranked #888 of the 18,187 ZIP codes this finding names, ordered by the gap from cleanest environment to heaviest chronic burden, highest first.

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 1.29 years of 78.4, 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.
