Full methodology ›The read
On the composite measure, Arcadia, Michigan (ZIP 49613) stands in the top 29% healthiest ZIPs nationally (9,305th) and the top 27% of Michigan (264th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
Several signals sit on each side of the ledger here: modeled colon screening sits in the top 1.0% nationally, and recreation resides in the top 4.0% nationally. Modeled housing insecurity stands in the bottom 6.0% nationally, and air-toxics cancer risk sits in the bottom 6.0% nationally. Homeownership resides in the top 6.7% nationally, modeled short sleep stands in the bottom 6.5% nationally, and modeled humid heat sits in the bottom 8.1% nationally. Working the other way, unemployment resides in the top 4.8% nationally, modeled coronary heart disease stands in the top 5.1% nationally, and modeled hearing disability sits in the top 5.6% nationally.
Set beside the wider area around it, park land runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For clarity, air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people. Humid heat is a modeled heat-stress measure combining temperature, humidity, sun, and wind to gauge heat on the body outdoors. ZIP 49635, just across the boundary, ranks better overall among the ZIPs nearby.

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 1.14 years of 80.7, 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.
