Full methodology ›The read
From what the available data documents, Rousseau, Kentucky (ZIP 41366) lands in the bottom 2.3% nationally (31,356th) and the bottom 25% of Kentucky (554th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
On what has been documented so far, the readings are limited but real: modeled industrial-pollution burden is in the bottom 0.4% nationally, modeled tree cover resides in the top 1.0% nationally, and distance to a hazardous-chemical facility rests in the top 3.9% nationally. Modeled expected annual loss lies in the bottom 9.4% nationally. Working the other way, modeled tooth loss sits in the top 3.5% nationally, and walkability settles in the bottom 2.2% nationally. Modeled mammography registers in the bottom 3.7% nationally, and slow internet speeds stands in the top 3.5% nationally. Modeled short sleep lands in the top 7.5% nationally, and distance to an emergency room is in the top 7.5% nationally.
Relative to the ZIPs around it, slow internet speeds runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In plain terms, industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. 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. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. The nearest healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 41339, just across the boundary.
What’s driving this score
Nine domains make up the ZipVitals Score — here is how this ZIP does on each, and how much each one counts.

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 2.07 years of 72.6, 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.
