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.
Pharmacy access
1.6 per 1,000 residents
in the top 0.3% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST99thUS99thDefinition & source ›
The number of pharmacies located 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 ›Home broadband subscription

Higher is healthier
ST5thUS2ndDefinition & source ›
The share of households with a broadband internet subscription.

ST94thUS96thDefinition & 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 ›The read
Sicily Island, Louisiana (ZIP 71368), on the composite measure, lands in the bottom 9.3% nationally (29,110th) and the bottom 33% of Louisiana (341st), based on limited data; treat as directional.
The main burdens in the data show plainly and lead the picture: home broadband subscription sits in the bottom 1.8% nationally, fatal road crashes registers in the top 4.4% nationally, and modeled stroke lands in the top 5.3% nationally. Modeled high blood pressure resides in the top 4.6% nationally, mobility disability lies in the top 5.8% nationally, and diabetes settles in the top 6.8% nationally. Modeled self-care disability stands in the top 7.4% nationally, and fair or poor health is in the top 8.0% nationally. More positively, pharmacy rests in the top 0.3% nationally, and modeled industrial-pollution burden sits in the bottom 4.7% nationally.
Set against the neighboring ZIPs, pharmacy runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In everyday language, industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. A healthier neighbor overall sits at ZIP 71326, 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 1.41 years of 74.1, 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.
