What’s behind Anza’s grade
On seven CDC estimates for adults, Anza is healthier than 30% of U.S. towns. Smoking holds the grade up (fewer adults who smoke than 59% of U.S. towns); fair or poor health pulls it down (better than 14%).
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). Anza’s median household income is $83,558; among the 10,492 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($63K–$104K), it’s healthier than 18%, so it sits below most towns with similar incomes, too.
