Humid extreme heat
153.4 days/year

ST95thUS96thDefinition & source ›
The average number of days per year when modeled heat stress — temperature, humidity, sun, and wind combined — reaches levels hard on the body outdoors.

in the top 4.0% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST82ndUS96thDefinition & source ›
The EPA’s modeled screening score for industrial chemical releases, weighting the amounts released by their toxicity and how many people live nearby — a relative comparison score, not a measured exposure.
Full methodology ›Floodplain exposure

Lower is healthier
ST69thUS96thDefinition & source ›
The share of this ZIP’s land area inside FEMA’s 1%-annual-chance floodplain — the “100-year” flood zone, where flooding has about a 1-in-100 chance in any given year.
Measured from FEMA’s mapped flood panels. Where a panel has not been mapped, no value is published for that ZIP — those ZIPs are absent from this comparison rather than counted as unexposed.
Full methodology ›Homeownership rate

The share of occupied homes that are owned, rather than rented, by the people living in them.

The read
Overall, Pride, Louisiana (ZIP 70770) lands in the top 35% healthiest ZIPs nationally (11,276th) and the top 4.8% of Louisiana (24th).
The measures that set this area apart are worth putting up front: homeownership lands in the top 7.1% nationally. Households without a vehicle sits at the national minimum, shared with about 16% of ZIPs. Modeled radon is in the bottom 2.5% nationally. Modeled loud transportation noise settles at the national minimum, shared with about 22% of ZIPs. Modeled transportation noise resides in the bottom 11.1% nationally, and poverty registers in the bottom 11.6% nationally. Set against that, modeled humid heat rests in the top 3.8% nationally, modeled industrial-pollution burden stands in the top 4.0% nationally, and floodplain exposure lies in the top 4.0% nationally. Modeled air-toxics cancer risk lands in the top 7.6% nationally.
Set beside the nearby areas, industrial-pollution burden runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. A note on the 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. Radon is a radioactive soil gas the EPA identifies as the top cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers. For a healthier nearby comparison, ZIP 70818, 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 1.30 years of 78.1, 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
