What’s behind Windsor’s grade
On seven CDC estimates for adults, Windsor is healthier than 94% of U.S. towns, #54 of 159 in Colorado. All seven estimates beat the typical U.S. town. The strongest is no exercise (fewer adults who get no exercise than 98% of towns); the weakest is mental distress, still better than 75%.
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). Windsor’s median household income is $127,028; among the 4,856 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($95K–$159K), it’s healthier than 86%, about where its income would put it.
Most Colorado towns score higher on these estimates than towns elsewhere, so within the state Windsor is healthier than 66% of graded towns, against 94% nationally.
