Written from the CDC, Medicare and HRSA data on this page. CDC PLACES 2025 release: modeled estimates for adults, not counts; “higher” and “lower” mean the Arizona figure falls outside Winslow’s likely range; at the ends of CDC’s ranges the grade could be anywhere from D to B−.
What’s behind Winslow’s grade
On seven CDC estimates for adults, Winslow is healthier than 27% of U.S. towns, #113 of 140 in Arizona. No exercise holds the grade up (fewer adults who get no exercise than 46% of U.S. towns); fair or poor health pulls it down (better than 17%).
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). Winslow’s median household income is $58,346; among the 8,463 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($44K–$73K), it’s healthier than 44%, so it sits below most towns with similar incomes, too.
Where Winslow compares well: high cholesterol (adults screened in 5 years), 32.4% (U.S. 37.1%); cancer, other than skin cancer, 6.8% (U.S. 7.9%).
