Full methodology ›The read
In its overall standing, Lisbon, Louisiana (ZIP 71048) lands in the bottom 7.6% nationally (29,652nd) and the bottom 28% of Louisiana (364th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
Reading across the data, the real pressures come first: home broadband subscription lands in the bottom 0.4% nationally, modeled short sleep lies in the top 1.3% nationally, and modeled high blood pressure stands in the top 1.9% nationally. Modeled obesity rests in the top 1.5% nationally, diabetes registers in the top 3.8% nationally, and self-care disability resides in the top 5.4% nationally. Modeled mobility disability settles in the top 4.6% nationally, and utility shutoff is in the top 4.9% nationally. More encouragingly, modeled pfas sits in the bottom 0.3% nationally, and arsenic lands in the bottom 1.8% nationally.
Put simply, pfas is the man-made "forever chemicals" that build up in the body and environment instead of breaking down; here a modeled estimate of the chance a private well contains them. Arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. On the overall standing, ZIP 71079, just across the boundary, ranks healthier.

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 0.82 years of 75.3, 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.
