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). Mountain View Acres’ median household income is $78,793; among the 10,810 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($59K–$98K), it’s healthier than 15%, so it sits below most towns with similar incomes, too.

A rough placement. CDC’s likely ranges are wide here: with every estimate at one end or the other, Mountain View Acres could be anywhere from D to B−. The letter shows with “≈”.
