Health Grade

What’s behind Florin’s grade

On seven CDC estimates for adults, Florin is healthier than 27% of U.S. towns, #675 of 847 in California. Obesity holds the grade up (fewer adults with obesity than 82% of U.S. towns); fair or poor health pulls it down (better than 6%).

California towns we grade (847)Healthier than 20%
U.S. towns with similar incomes, $53K–$89K (10,590)Healthier than 27%

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). Florin’s median household income is $71,111; among the 10,590 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($53K–$89K), it’s healthier than 27%, so it sits below most towns with similar incomes, too.

Where Florin compares well: cancer, other than skin cancer, 5.2% (U.S. 7.9%); binge drinking, 11.6% (U.S. 15.4%).

A rough placement. CDC’s likely ranges are wide here: with every estimate at one end or the other, Florin could be anywhere from D to B−. The letter shows with “≈”.
