Health Grade

What’s behind Centennial Park’s grade

On seven CDC estimates for adults, Centennial Park is healthier than 53% of U.S. towns. Diabetes holds the grade up (fewer adults with diabetes than almost every U.S. town); mental distress pulls it down (near the bottom of U.S. towns).

U.S. towns with similar incomes, $126K–$210K (1,764)Healthier than 2%

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). Centennial Park’s median household income is $167,872; among the 1,764 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($126K–$210K), it’s healthier than 2%, less than its income alone would suggest.

A fairly firm grade. With every estimate at the unfavorable or the favorable end of CDC’s likely range, Centennial Park could be anywhere from C to B+.
