Overall, Chippewa Lake, Michigan (ZIP 49320) places in the top 33% healthiest ZIPs nationally (10,664th) and the top 32% of Michigan (309th).
The measures land in both directions, and neither dominates: modeled colon screening rests in the top 0.9% nationally, and floodplain exposure resides at the national minimum. Modeled expected annual loss is in the bottom 5.9% nationally. Unemployment lands at the national minimum, shared with about 15% of ZIPs. Households without a vehicle stands at the national minimum, shared with about 16% of ZIPs. Modeled loud transportation noise registers at the national minimum, shared with about 22% of ZIPs. Pulling the other way, modeled pfas settles in the top 11.8% nationally, crowded housing sits in the top 12.0% nationally, and modeled coronary heart disease lies in the top 11.4% nationally. Distance to a nursing home rests in the top 12.8% nationally.
For readers new to these terms, expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. 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. Floodplain exposure is land with about a 1-in-100 chance of flooding each year, nicknamed the "100-year floodplain". Among the ZIPs nearby, none ranks healthier overall than this one.

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 1.22 years of 78.7, 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.
