Pleasant Hill, Louisiana (ZIP 71065), by its overall standing, sits in the bottom 4.7% nationally (30,560th) and the bottom 18% of Louisiana (416th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
Both sides of the picture show up plainly in this area's numbers: civic lands in the top 4.7% nationally, and modeled arsenic is in the bottom 5.0% nationally. By contrast, home broadband subscription resides in the bottom 1.4% nationally, poverty rests in the top 2.8% nationally, and modeled cognitive disability lies in the top 4.4% nationally. Modeled obesity sits in the top 2.2% nationally, and households without a vehicle settles in the top 3.5% nationally. Modeled independent living disability registers in the top 5.5% nationally, and self-care disability stands in the top 6.3% nationally. Modeled diabetes lands in the top 6.0% nationally.
Defined in plain terms, arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. The nearest ZIP ranking healthier overall is ZIP 71063, 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 1.72 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.
