What’s behind Alondra Park’s grade
On seven CDC estimates for adults, Alondra Park is healthier than 52% of U.S. towns, #504 of 847 in California. Obesity holds the grade up (fewer adults with obesity than 92% of U.S. towns); fair or poor health pulls it down (better than 15%).

Alondra Park’s median household income is $87,169; among the 10,235 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($65K–$109K), it’s healthier than 43%, so it sits below most towns with similar incomes, too.
