Dorr, Michigan (ZIP 49323) ranks in the top 21% healthiest ZIPs nationally (6,813th) and the top 19% of Michigan (184th).
The bright spots in the data define much of the story here: homeownership is in the top 5.5% nationally, and modeled high cholesterol registers in the bottom 7.1% nationally. Poverty lies in the bottom 10.3% nationally, and housing-cost burden is in the bottom 14.8% nationally. Modeled diabetes registers in the bottom 11.5% nationally, mobility disability lies in the bottom 13.6% nationally, and stroke is in the bottom 12.5% nationally. Modeled high blood pressure registers in the bottom 13.6% nationally. On the other side, modeled binge drinking lies in the top 4.8% nationally, and pfas is in the top 15% nationally.
Against its neighbors, park land runs far lower 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. The closest ZIP that ranks healthier overall is ZIP 49315, 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 0.57 years of 78.8, 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.
