What’s behind Coolidge’s grade
On seven CDC estimates for adults, Coolidge is healthier than 14% of U.S. towns, #124 of 140 in Arizona. Smoking holds the grade up (fewer adults who smoke than 45% of U.S. towns); obesity pulls it down (better than 9%).
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). Coolidge’s median household income is $67,023; among the 10,216 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($50K–$84K), it’s healthier than 12%, so it sits below most towns with similar incomes, too.
