What’s behind Meadowbrook’s grade
On seven CDC estimates for adults, Meadowbrook is healthier than 6% of U.S. towns, #813 of 847 in California. Smoking holds the grade up (fewer adults who smoke than 29% of U.S. towns); fair or poor health pulls it down (better than 2%).
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). Meadowbrook’s median household income is $56,212; among the 7,791 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($42K–$70K), it’s healthier than 8%, so it sits below most towns with similar incomes, too.
