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 White Hall’s likely range; at the ends of CDC’s ranges the grade could be anywhere from D to B.
What’s behind White Hall’s grade
On seven CDC estimates for adults, White Hall is healthier than 23% of U.S. towns, #51 of 123 in Arkansas. Smoking holds the grade up (fewer adults who smoke than 44% of U.S. towns); no exercise pulls it down (better than 14%).
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). White Hall’s median household income is $78,092; among the 10,823 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($59K–$98K), it’s healthier than 15%, so it sits below most towns with similar incomes, too.
