Full methodology ›The read
Overall, Saint Rose, Louisiana (ZIP 70087) lands in the bottom 41% nationally (18,903rd) and the top 14.6% of Louisiana (74th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
Several measures weigh most on this area's profile, and they come first: modeled air-toxics cancer risk stands in the top 1.9% nationally, and industrial-pollution burden lies in the top 2.0% nationally. Modeled humid heat lands in the top 4.0% nationally, and loud transportation noise sits in the top 5.6% nationally. Modeled short sleep is in the top 8.6% nationally, modeled transportation noise settles in the top 11.8% nationally, and crowded housing resides in the top 13.9% nationally. On the better side, modeled mammography registers in the top 4.4% nationally, and radon rests in the bottom 0.3% nationally. Distance to a community health center stands at the national minimum, shared with about 23% of ZIPs.
Set beside the nearby areas, industrial-pollution burden runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. A note on the terms: air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people. Industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Radon is a radioactive soil gas the EPA identifies as the top cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers. For a healthier nearby comparison, ZIP 70047, just across the boundary, ranks better 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 2.65 years of 79.2, 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. How distance is measured
