Eastport, Michigan (ZIP 49627), by its composite score, sits in the top 20% healthiest ZIPs nationally (6,551st) and the top 18% of Michigan (173rd), based on limited data; treat as directional.
The measures fall on both sides for this area, fairly evenly: modeled housing insecurity stands in the bottom 4.9% nationally, and loneliness registers in the bottom 5.4% nationally. Modeled colon screening settles in the top 3.0% nationally, and air-toxics cancer risk sits in the bottom 5.5% nationally. Modeled transportation lies in the bottom 6.7% nationally, and short sleep rests in the bottom 6.2% nationally. Unemployment resides at the national minimum, shared with about 15% of ZIPs. Modeled binge drinking is in the bottom 6.3% nationally. Pulling the other way, distance to an emergency room lands in the top 3.1% nationally, and modeled hearing disability stands in the top 6.5% nationally.
Next to the surrounding area, park land runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For anyone unfamiliar, air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people.

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 2.97 years of 86.2, 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.
