The number of services for older adults and people with disabilities inside this ZIP’s boundary, per 1,000 residents.
Counted from establishments located inside this ZIP’s boundary, so one just across the line is not counted. Where a ZIP has too few residents for the density to be reliable, no value is published rather than an unreliable one.

Full methodology ›The read
Cheneyville, Louisiana (ZIP 71325) ranks in the bottom 12.2% nationally (28,170th) and the bottom 43% of Louisiana (291st), based on limited data; treat as directional.
Several readings make the pressure on this area plain: modeled high blood pressure is in the top 2.4% nationally, and diabetes registers in the top 4.4% nationally. Modeled stroke lies in the top 4.1% nationally, and mobility disability is in the top 5.3% nationally. Modeled self-care disability registers in the top 7.4% nationally, humid heat lies in the top 6.4% nationally, and fair or poor health is in the top 8.7% nationally. On the encouraging side, elder services registers in the top 0.8% nationally, childcare lies in the top 2.4% nationally, and modeled arsenic is in the bottom 7.1% nationally.
Against its neighbors, elder services runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For context, arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. Humid heat is a modeled heat-stress measure combining temperature, humidity, sun, and wind to gauge heat on the body outdoors. The closest ZIP that ranks healthier overall is ZIP 71341, 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 1.39 years of 79.7, 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
