Longville, Louisiana (ZIP 70652), in overall standing, comes out in the bottom 17% nationally (26,566th) and the top 41% of Louisiana (208th).
A few readings each way define this mixed profile: modeled radon is in the bottom 0.8% nationally, and poverty lies in the bottom 14.9% nationally. Pulling the other way, modeled industrial-pollution burden registers in the top 4.9% nationally, modeled humid heat is in the top 6.7% nationally, and crowded housing lies in the top 7.3% nationally. Unemployment registers in the top 8.3% nationally. Fiber broadband is at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Modeled cognitive disability lies in the top 10.7% nationally, and binge drinking registers in the top 11.9% nationally. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility is at the national minimum, shared with about 31% of ZIPs.
Set within its surrounding area, industrial-pollution burden runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Defined simply, for reference, 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. 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. The closest healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 70633, just across the boundary.

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 75.5, 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.
