Full methodology ›The read
In overall standing, Glynn, Louisiana (ZIP 70736) comes out in the bottom 14.1% nationally (27,547th) and the bottom 49% of Louisiana (259th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
The data points to real strain across a number of measures here: slow internet speeds stands in the top 2.4% nationally, poverty lands in the top 2.8% nationally, and modeled industrial-pollution burden is in the top 4.1% nationally. Modeled air-toxics cancer risk resides in the top 4.5% nationally, humid heat rests in the top 5.3% nationally, and high blood pressure lies in the top 6.3% nationally. Household income sits in the bottom 2.1% nationally, and walkability settles in the bottom 8.0% nationally. Fiber broadband registers at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. On the brighter side, unemployment stands at the national minimum, shared with about 15% of ZIPs.
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. Air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people. Humid heat is a modeled heat-stress measure combining temperature, humidity, sun, and wind to gauge heat on the body outdoors. The nearest healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 70767, 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 1.20 years of 77.4, 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
