On seven CDC estimates for adults, Cambrian Park is healthier than 92% of U.S. towns, #125 of 847 in California. All seven estimates beat the typical U.S. town. The strongest is obesity (fewer adults with obesity than 96% of towns); the weakest is diabetes, still better than 79%.

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). Cambrian Park’s median household income is $192,731; among the 1,063 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($145K–$241K), it’s healthier than 28%, less than its income alone would suggest.

A fairly firm grade. With every estimate at the unfavorable or the favorable end of CDC’s likely range, Cambrian Park could be anywhere from A− to A+.
