Full methodology ›The read
Judged by its overall standing, Lottie, Louisiana (ZIP 70756) sits in the bottom 13.7% nationally (27,684th) and the bottom 47% of Louisiana (268th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
An even profile, with readings pulling both ways: unemployment is at the national minimum, shared with about 15% of ZIPs. Modeled radon lies in the bottom 2.4% nationally. Against that, households without a vehicle registers in the top 1.8% nationally, and home broadband subscription is in the bottom 2.8% nationally. Modeled humid heat lies in the top 4.7% nationally, and slow internet speeds registers in the top 5.4% nationally. Modeled industrial-pollution burden is in the top 7.2% nationally, and loud transportation noise lies in the top 8.5% nationally. Modeled air-toxics cancer risk registers in the top 8.9% nationally, and distance to a nursing home is in the top 9.7% nationally.
Put plainly, 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. Radon is a radioactive soil gas the EPA identifies as the top cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers. A healthier nearby ZIP overall is ZIP 70732, 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 1.55 years of 80.0, 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
