What’s behind Casa Grande’s grade
On seven CDC estimates for adults, Casa Grande is healthier than 32% of U.S. towns, #110 of 140 in Arizona. Smoking holds the grade up (fewer adults who smoke than 70% of U.S. towns); diabetes pulls it down (better than 18%).
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). Casa Grande’s median household income is $69,983; among the 10,521 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($52K–$87K), it’s healthier than 36%, so it sits below most towns with similar incomes, too.
