Written from the CDC, Medicare and HRSA data on this page. CDC PLACES 2025 release: modeled estimates for adults, not counts; “higher” and “lower” mean the Arkansas figure falls outside Berryville’s likely range; at the ends of CDC’s ranges the grade could be anywhere from D− to C.
What’s behind Berryville’s grade
On seven CDC estimates for adults, Berryville is healthier than 9% of U.S. towns, #80 of 123 in Arkansas. Obesity holds the grade up (fewer adults with obesity than 28% of U.S. towns); no exercise pulls it down (better than 3%).
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). Berryville’s median household income is $42,283; among the 3,123 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($32K–$53K), it’s healthier than 39%, so it sits below most towns with similar incomes, too.
Few Arkansas towns score lower on these estimates than towns elsewhere, so within the state Berryville is healthier than 35% of graded towns, against 9% nationally.
