In overall standing, Addis, Louisiana (ZIP 70710) comes out in the top 39% healthiest ZIPs nationally (12,499th) and the top 5.8% of Louisiana (29th).
Both sides of the picture show up plainly in this area's numbers: home broadband subscription rests at the national maximum, modeled coronary heart disease lies in the bottom 4.6% nationally, and modeled mammography sits in the top 4.0% nationally. Modeled hearing disability settles in the bottom 5.0% nationally. By contrast, modeled industrial-pollution burden registers in the top 0.3% nationally, and air-toxics cancer risk stands in the top 1.4% nationally. Modeled loud transportation noise lands in the top 1.8% nationally, and slow internet speeds is in the top 4.1% nationally. Modeled humid heat resides in the top 4.5% nationally, and binge drinking rests in the top 4.8% nationally.
Relative to the ZIPs around it, industrial-pollution burden 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. Air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people. Loud transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to road, rail, and air noise at or above 65 decibels, near conversation volume. The nearest healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 70719, 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 1.29 years of 78.8, 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.
