The modeled probability that PFAS “forever chemicals” would be detected in untreated groundwater in this area, the source private wells draw on.
A modeled likelihood for untreated groundwater, the source drawn on by private wells, which are federally unregulated. It is not a measurement of treated water delivered by a public system, and it is not a test of any individual well.

Full methodology ›The read
Stevensville, Michigan (ZIP 49127) ranks in the top 15% healthiest ZIPs nationally (4,820th) and the top 12.5% of Michigan (121st), based on limited data; treat as directional.
The bright spots in the data define much of the story here: modeled colon screening lands in the top 3.2% nationally, and transportation settles in the bottom 11.1% nationally. Mental-health providers rests in the top 11.7% nationally, and park land lands in the top 11.8% nationally. Modeled housing insecurity settles in the bottom 12.3% nationally, dental providers rests in the top 12.8% nationally, and modeled food insecurity lands in the bottom 13.5% nationally. On the other side, modeled pfas settles in the top 2.8% nationally, and distance to a Superfund site rests in the bottom 4.2% nationally. Fiber broadband lands at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs.
Against its neighbors, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For context, 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. Distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. The closest ZIP that ranks healthier overall is ZIP 49085, just across the boundary.

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 0.79 years of 81.4, 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.
