What’s behind Hoopa’s grade
On seven CDC estimates for adults, Hoopa is healthier than 6% of U.S. towns. Obesity holds the grade up (fewer adults with obesity than 30% of U.S. towns); mental distress pulls it down (near the bottom of U.S. towns).
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). Hoopa’s median household income is $64,643; among the 9,863 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($48K–$81K), it’s healthier than 4%, so it sits below most towns with similar incomes, too.
