The modeled share of household income spent on home energy bills — electricity, gas, and heating fuels.
A modeled share of household income spent on home energy. Estimates that hit the model’s 100% ceiling are suppressed rather than published, because at that point the figure reflects the model’s limit rather than a measured burden.

Overall, Youngsville, Louisiana (ZIP 70592) lands in the top 23% healthiest ZIPs nationally (7,485th) and the top 2.6% of Louisiana (13th).
The signals balance out across the profile, strengths against concerns: modeled mammography rests in the top 3.3% nationally, and coronary heart disease stands in the bottom 7.0% nationally. Modeled loud transportation noise lies at the national minimum, shared with about 22% of ZIPs. Distance to a community health center lands at the national minimum, shared with about 23% of ZIPs. Modeled energy burden sits in the bottom 9.1% nationally. Set against that, modeled binge drinking is in the top 2.0% nationally, expected annual loss settles in the top 5.5% nationally, and disaster risk resides in the top 7.4% nationally. Modeled humid heat registers in the top 8.7% nationally, and floodplain exposure rests in the top 11.1% nationally.
Set beside the nearby areas, outer-floodplain exposure runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. A note on the terms: expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Humid heat is a modeled heat-stress measure combining temperature, humidity, sun, and wind to gauge heat on the body outdoors. For a healthier nearby comparison, ZIP 70508, 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 0.91 years of 80.3, 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
