What defines this ZIP
Metrics where this ZIP sits in the tails of the national distribution — the ones that most set it apart. Select any tile for its definition and methodology.
Floodplain exposure
57.8%
in the top 2.8% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST75thUS97thDefinition & 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 ›Home broadband subscription
59.6%
in the bottom 2.9% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST8thUS3rdDefinition & source ›
The share of households with a broadband internet subscription.
Full methodology ›Fatal road crashes
43.1 per 100,000 residents per year
in the top 5.8% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST92ndUS94thDefinition & source ›
The annual rate of fatal road crashes per 100,000 residents, pooled over a ten-year window.
A rate per resident population. Where a ZIP has too few residents for the rate to be reliable — about 30% of US ZIPs — no value is published rather than an unstable one; those ZIPs are absent from this comparison, not counted as crash-free.
Full methodology ›High blood pressure
48%
in the top 6.0% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST74thUS94thDefinition & source ›
The estimated share of adults who have been told by a health professional that they have high blood pressure.
Full methodology ›Industrial-pollution burden
in the bottom 6.8% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST2ndUS7thDefinition & 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 ›Humid extreme heat
141.7 days/year
in the top 6.9% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST40thUS93rdDefinition & 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.
Full methodology ›High cholesterol
44.8%
in the top 4.8% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST97thUS95thDefinition & source ›
The estimated share of adults with high cholesterol, among those who have ever been screened for it.
Full methodology ›Radon
0.7 pCi/L
in the bottom 2.0% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST35thUS2ndDefinition & source ›
The modeled typical indoor radon level for this area, in picocuries per liter — the EPA recommends fixing a home at 4 pCi/L or above.
Modeled from indoor-radon measurements. In Alaska and Hawaii, where those measurements are not published, a US Geological Survey geologic radon-potential category stands in — a coarser input, disclosed rather than hidden.
Full methodology ›Coronary heart disease
10.0%

Lower is healthier
ST83rdUS90thDefinition & source ›
The estimated share of adults who have been told by a health professional that they have coronary heart disease or angina.

ST98thUS89thDefinition & source ›
The distance in miles from this ZIP’s edge to the nearest Superfund site — an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has listed for cleanup.

Combined exposures in this ZIP
More than one environmental exposure stands out in this ZIP. Each is established independently and shown on its own above; they are grouped here for context — not because one causes the other.
This area ranks among the highest 10% of US ZIP codes for both humid-heat days and flood exposure.

The read
On the composite measure, Gilbert, Louisiana (ZIP 71336) stands in the bottom 14.1% nationally (27,568th) and the bottom 49% of Louisiana (260th).
A balanced set of signals defines this area, not any single one: modeled industrial-pollution burden registers in the bottom 6.8% nationally, and radon lies in the bottom 2.0% nationally. By contrast, floodplain exposure is in the top 2.8% nationally, and home broadband subscription registers in the bottom 2.9% nationally. Fatal road crashes lies in the top 5.8% nationally, modeled high blood pressure is in the top 6.0% nationally, and modeled humid heat registers in the top 6.9% nationally. Modeled high cholesterol lies in the top 4.8% nationally. Fiber broadband is at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Modeled mobility disability registers in the top 10.3% nationally.
Set beside the wider area around it, outer-floodplain exposure runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For clarity, industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Radon is a radioactive soil gas the EPA identifies as the top cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers. Floodplain exposure is land with about a 1-in-100 chance of flooding each year, nicknamed the "100-year floodplain". ZIP 71326, just across the boundary, ranks better overall among the ZIPs nearby.

Clean environment, heavy chronic burden
Where the environment and chronic illness point in opposite directions
Environmental-hazard standing 93.6 (top 10%); chronic-disease standing 9.5 (bottom 10%) — 84 points apart, cleaner on the environment than it is on chronic illness.
Ranked #317 of the 18,187 ZIP codes this finding names, ordered by the gap from cleanest environment to heaviest chronic burden, highest first.

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 1.43 years of 73.2, 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
