What’s behind Stanton’s grade
On seven CDC estimates for adults, Stanton is healthier than 39% of U.S. towns, #604 of 847 in California. Obesity holds the grade up (fewer adults with obesity than 94% of U.S. towns); fair or poor health pulls it down (better than 8%).
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). Stanton’s median household income is $84,707; among the 10,416 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($64K–$106K), it’s healthier than 28%, so it sits below most towns with similar incomes, too.
