Cognitive disability
22.4%
in the top 3.3% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST86thUS97thDefinition & source ›
The estimated share of adults with serious difficulty concentrating, remembering, or making decisions.
Full methodology ›Grocery access
0.35 per 1,000 residents
in the top 3.0% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST95thUS97thDefinition & source ›
The number of full supermarkets 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. ZipVitals’s food-access signal is derived from these in-ZIP densities — it is not USDA’s food-desert designation, which measures distance to the nearest supermarket. Where a leg is missing, a ZIP reads “not determinable,” never “not a food desert.”

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.

Full methodology ›The read
By the composite measure, Olla, Louisiana (ZIP 71465) sits in the bottom 6.6% nationally (29,970th) and the bottom 24% of Louisiana (384th).
The profile cuts both ways, and the readings bear that out: grocery registers in the top 3.0% nationally, pharmacy lands in the top 10.8% nationally, and distance to an emergency room resides in the bottom 11.0% nationally. Working the other way, modeled cognitive disability lies in the top 3.3% nationally, independent living disability settles in the top 6.8% nationally, and humid heat stands in the top 7.0% nationally. Crowded housing is in the top 7.5% nationally, and modeled fair or poor health rests in the top 9.6% nationally. Modeled mobility disability sits in the top 10.0% nationally, and hearing disability registers in the top 10.9% nationally.
In plain language, humid heat is a modeled heat-stress measure combining temperature, humidity, sun, and wind to gauge heat on the body outdoors. ZIP 71342, 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 1.10 years of 78.2, 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.
