Health Grade

What’s behind Olivehurst’s grade

On seven CDC estimates for adults, Olivehurst is healthier than 43% of U.S. towns, #580 of 847 in California. Obesity holds the grade up (fewer adults with obesity than 81% of U.S. towns); mental distress pulls it down (better than 12%).

California towns we grade (847)Healthier than 32%
U.S. towns with similar incomes, $62K–$104K (10,512)Healthier than 34%

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). Olivehurst’s median household income is $83,214; among the 10,512 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($62K–$104K), it’s healthier than 34%, so it sits below most towns with similar incomes, too.

A fairly firm grade. With every estimate at the unfavorable or the favorable end of CDC’s likely range, Olivehurst could be anywhere from C− to B+.
