What’s behind Beverly Hills’ grade
On seven CDC estimates for adults, Beverly Hills is healthier than 96% of U.S. towns, #79 of 847 in California. All seven estimates beat the typical U.S. town. The strongest is obesity (fewer adults with obesity than almost every town); the weakest is fair or poor health, still better than 86%.
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). Beverly Hills’ median household income is $132,977; among the 4,260 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($100K–$166K), it’s healthier than 90%, about where its income would put it.
