What’s behind Page’s grade
On seven CDC estimates for adults, Page is healthier than 78% of U.S. towns, #39 of 140 in Arizona. No exercise holds the grade up (fewer adults who get no exercise than 97% of U.S. towns); mental distress pulls it down (better than 28%).
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). Page’s median household income is $88,826; among the 10,093 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($67K–$111K), it’s healthier than 81%, about where its income would put it.
