Home broadband subscription

Higher is healthier
ST4thUS1stDefinition & source ›
The share of households with a broadband internet subscription.
Full methodology ›Recreation access
1.2 per 1,000 residents

Higher is healthier
ST97thUS94thDefinition & source ›
The number of places for physical recreation — gyms, sports, and fitness venues — 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.

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 ›The read
Judged by its overall standing, Atlanta, Louisiana (ZIP 71404) sits in the bottom 14.7% nationally (27,373rd) and the top 49% of Louisiana (251st).
A few readings each way define this mixed profile: recreation lands in the top 5.9% nationally, housing-cost burden rests in the bottom 5.9% nationally, and modeled transportation noise settles in the bottom 6.1% nationally. Modeled pfas lands in the bottom 10.2% nationally. Modeled loud transportation noise rests at the national minimum, shared with about 22% of ZIPs. Pulling the other way, home broadband subscription settles in the bottom 1.4% nationally, and modeled humid heat lands in the top 7.6% nationally. Households without a vehicle rests in the top 8.0% nationally. Fiber broadband settles at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Slow internet speeds lands in the top 9.6% nationally.
Placed beside its immediate neighbors, park land runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Put plainly, pfas is the man-made "forever chemicals" that build up in the body and environment instead of breaking down; here a modeled estimate of the chance a private well contains them. Transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to average road, rail, and air noise at or above 55 decibels. Humid heat is a modeled heat-stress measure combining temperature, humidity, sun, and wind to gauge heat on the body outdoors. A healthier nearby ZIP overall is ZIP 71423, 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 0.97 years of 75.1, 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.
