The modeled share of this area’s domestic-well groundwater at or above the federal nitrate limit of 10 milligrams per liter.
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.

Coral, Michigan (ZIP 49322), by its composite score, sits in the bottom 48% nationally (16,671st) and the bottom 47% of Michigan (513th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
The measures fall on both sides for this area, fairly evenly: modeled loud transportation noise lies at the national minimum, shared with about 22% of ZIPs. Housing-cost burden rests in the bottom 14.0% nationally, and homeownership resides in the top 16% nationally. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility is in the top 17% nationally, and households without a vehicle lands in the bottom 18% nationally. Pulling the other way, modeled nitrate stands in the top 4.7% nationally, distance to a nursing home registers in the top 11.5% nationally, and distance to an emergency room settles in the top 17% nationally. Recreation sits at the national minimum, shared with about 35% of ZIPs. Home broadband subscription lies in the bottom 18% nationally.
For anyone unfamiliar, nitrate is a groundwater compound from fertilizer, manure, and sewage, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. 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. 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.

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 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.
