Written from the CDC, Medicare and HRSA data on this page. CDC PLACES 2025 release: modeled estimates for adults, not counts; “higher” and “lower” mean the California figure falls outside Lodi’s likely range; at the ends of CDC’s ranges the grade could be anywhere from C− to B+.
What’s behind Lodi’s grade
On seven CDC estimates for adults, Lodi is healthier than 51% of U.S. towns, #513 of 847 in California. Obesity holds the grade up (fewer adults with obesity than 80% of U.S. towns); fair or poor health pulls it down (better than 18%).
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). Lodi’s median household income is $88,530; among the 10,129 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($66K–$111K), it’s healthier than 40%, so it sits below most towns with similar incomes, too.
