Health Grade
What’s behind Los Angeles’ grade
On seven CDC estimates for adults, Los Angeles is healthier than 54% of U.S. towns, #492 of 847 in California. Obesity holds the grade up (fewer adults with obesity than 91% of U.S. towns); fair or poor health pulls it down (better than 16%).

California towns we grade (847)Healthier than 42%
U.S. towns with similar incomes, $61K–$102K (10,629)Healthier than 52%
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). Los Angeles’ median household income is $81,939; among the 10,629 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($61K–$102K), it’s healthier than 52%, about where its income would put it.
At 3,869,089 residents, Los Angeles is graded like any town, from one citywide estimate; its rank among the 395 U.S. cities over 100,000 is the fairer comparison.
A fairly firm grade. With every estimate at the unfavorable or the favorable end of CDC’s likely range, Los Angeles could be anywhere from C+ to B+. For a city of 3,147,255 adults, CDC’s ranges are narrow (obesity 24.6–30.1%).
