Written from the CDC, Medicare and HRSA data on this page. CDC PLACES 2025 release: modeled estimates for adults, not counts; “higher” and “lower” mean the Colorado figure falls outside Keystone’s likely range; at the ends of CDC’s ranges the grade could be anywhere from C+ to A.
What’s behind Keystone’s grade
On seven CDC estimates for adults, Keystone is healthier than 72% of U.S. towns. Obesity holds the grade up (fewer adults with obesity than 91% of U.S. towns); mental distress pulls it down (better than 21%).
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). Keystone’s median household income is $51,591; among the 6,330 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($39K–$64K), it’s healthier than 97%, more than its income alone would suggest.

On the 26 measures below that have a better and a worse direction, Keystone is better than Colorado on 1 and worse on 5; on the rest, the Colorado figure falls inside Keystone’s likely range, so we call them about the same. Disability and SNAP are described, not compared as better or worse.
