Health Grade

What’s behind Rodeo’s grade

On seven CDC estimates for adults, Rodeo is healthier than 54% of U.S. towns, #490 of 847 in California. Obesity holds the grade up (fewer adults with obesity than 83% of U.S. towns); fair or poor health pulls it down (better than 29%).

California towns we grade (847)Healthier than 42%
U.S. towns with similar incomes, $69K–$114K (9,800)Healthier than 40%

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). Rodeo’s median household income is $91,484; among the 9,800 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($69K–$114K), it’s healthier than 40%, 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, Rodeo could be anywhere from C to A−. The letter shows with “≈”.
