In overall standing, Hamilton, Michigan (ZIP 49419) comes out in the top 25% healthiest ZIPs nationally (8,117th) and the top 23% of Michigan (228th).
The data is generous to this ZIP in several places worth naming: housing-cost burden resides in the bottom 8.6% nationally, poverty rests in the bottom 8.6% nationally, and homeownership lies in the top 11.1% nationally. Modeled high cholesterol sits in the bottom 8.7% nationally, short sleep settles in the bottom 16% nationally, and disaster risk registers in the bottom 19% nationally. Unemployment stands in the bottom 19% nationally, and modeled tooth loss lands in the bottom 18% nationally. Working the other way, modeled binge drinking is in the top 7.4% nationally. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility resides at the national minimum, shared with about 31% of ZIPs.
Relative to the ZIPs around it, park land runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In plain terms, 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. Disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. The nearest healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 49323, 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 0.53 years of 79.7, 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.
