On the composite measure, Oden, Michigan (ZIP 49764) stands in the top 20% healthiest ZIPs nationally (6,506th) and the top 18% of Michigan (171st).
A profile of give and take, with clear readings each way: modeled disaster risk stands in the bottom 0.07% nationally, and walkability sits in the top 0.2% nationally. Modeled colon screening resides in the top 0.07% nationally, and expected annual loss stands in the bottom 1.8% nationally. Poverty sits at the national minimum, and home broadband subscription resides at the national maximum. On the other side, housing-cost burden stands at the national maximum, modeled loud transportation noise sits in the top 0.4% nationally, and homeownership resides at the national minimum. Modeled transportation noise stands in the top 1.1% nationally.
Set beside the wider area around it, walkability runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For clarity, disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Loud transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to road, rail, and air noise at or above 65 decibels, near conversation volume. ZIP 49770, about 0.3 miles away, 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 1.06 years of 80.6, 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.
