What’s behind Dadeville’s grade
On seven CDC estimates for adults, Dadeville is healthier than 9% of U.S. towns, #153 of 187 in Alabama. Mental distress holds the grade up (fewer adults with frequent mental distress than 30% of U.S. towns); diabetes pulls it down (better than 4%).
Health estimates follow income closely across the country: towns with higher household incomes usually score higher (a correlation of 0.77 across 21,157 graded towns). Dadeville’s median household income is $67,147; among the 10,230 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($50K–$84K), it’s healthier than 6%, so it sits below most towns with similar incomes, too.
