Grant, Michigan (ZIP 49327), on the composite measure, lands in the top 46% healthiest ZIPs nationally (14,659th) and the top 45% of Michigan (441st).
Where this area does well, the measures make it plain: distance to a community health center registers at the national minimum, shared with about 23% of ZIPs. Outer-floodplain exposure lands at the national minimum, shared with about 36% of ZIPs. Pharmacy resides in the top 20% nationally, and childcare lies in the top 20% nationally. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility settles in the top 22% nationally, and floodplain exposure stands in the bottom 22% nationally. Modeled humid heat is in the bottom 23% nationally. Against that, modeled disaster risk rests in the top 20% nationally, and binge drinking sits in the top 19% nationally. Modeled pfas registers in the top 23% nationally.
Set against the neighboring ZIPs, park land runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In everyday language, 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. 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. A healthier neighbor overall sits at ZIP 49343, 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 0.69 years of 79.2, 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.
