The annual rate of fatal road crashes per 100,000 residents, pooled over a ten-year window.
A rate per resident population. Where a ZIP has too few residents for the rate to be reliable — about 30% of US ZIPs — no value is published rather than an unstable one; those ZIPs are absent from this comparison, not counted as crash-free.
Full methodology ›The read
By the composite health measure, Parish, New York (ZIP 13131) ranks in the bottom 46% nationally (17,359th) and the bottom 13.9% of New York (1,491st).
The signals balance out across the profile, strengths against concerns: modeled extreme heat lies at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Distance to a community health center lands at the national minimum, shared with about 23% of ZIPs. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility sits in the top 12.2% nationally, pharmacy is in the top 16% nationally, and modeled tree cover settles in the top 17% nationally. Set against that, distance to a nursing home resides in the top 7.7% nationally, distance to an emergency room registers in the top 9.3% nationally, and unemployment rests in the top 13.1% nationally. Modeled short sleep stands in the top 12.7% nationally, and fatal road crashes lies in the top 16% nationally.
To spell things out, 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. Extreme heat is a modeled count of days a year reaching a dangerously high temperature, a leading weather hazard. Distance to a community health center is a federally funded (HRSA) community health center serving everyone regardless of ability to pay. Close by, ZIP 13036, just across the boundary, ranks healthier overall.

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 0.77 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.
