What’s behind Mountain House’s grade
On seven CDC estimates for adults, Mountain House is healthier than 97% of U.S. towns, #55 of 847 in California. All seven estimates beat the typical U.S. town. The strongest is physical distress (fewer adults with frequent physical distress than almost every town); the weakest is fair or poor health, still better than 90%.
