Full methodology ›The read
By the composite measure, ZIP 71104, one of several in Shreveport, Louisiana sits in the bottom 21% nationally (25,366th) and the top 35% of Louisiana (180th).
The readings split fairly evenly between strengths and concerns: walkability resides in the top 5.2% nationally, mental-health providers lies in the top 6.9% nationally, and transit settles in the top 8.0% nationally. Outpatient stands in the top 10.0% nationally. Working the other way, modeled air-toxics cancer risk is in the top 4.5% nationally, and homeownership rests in the bottom 7.0% nationally. Modeled utility shutoff sits in the top 8.0% nationally, and extreme heat registers in the top 8.4% nationally. Modeled disaster risk lands in the top 8.6% nationally, and humid heat resides in the top 8.7% nationally.
Compared with the ZIPs that surround it, walkability runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In plain language, air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people. Disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Extreme heat is a modeled count of days a year reaching a dangerously high temperature, a leading weather hazard. ZIP 71105, just across the boundary, ranks healthier 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 0.84 years of 77.1, 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.
