Health Grade

What’s behind Cibecue’s grade

On seven CDC estimates for adults, Cibecue is healthier than 10% of U.S. towns. No exercise holds the grade up (fewer adults who get no exercise than 37% of U.S. towns); mental distress pulls it down (near the bottom of U.S. towns).

U.S. towns with similar incomes, $19K–$32K (255)Healthier than 75%

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). Cibecue’s median household income is $25,791; among the 255 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($19K–$32K), it’s healthier than 75%, more than its income alone would suggest.

Where Cibecue compares well: high cholesterol (adults screened in 5 years), 28.6% (U.S. 37.1%); cancer, other than skin cancer, 5% (U.S. 7.9%).

A fairly firm grade. With every estimate at the unfavorable or the favorable end of CDC’s likely range, Cibecue could be anywhere from D− to C.
