What’s behind Woodmoor’s grade
On seven CDC estimates for adults, Woodmoor is healthier than 96% of U.S. towns, #38 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 almost every town); the weakest is physical distress, still better than 86%.
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). Woodmoor’s median household income is $171,875; among the 1,635 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($129K–$215K), it’s healthier than 73%, about where its income would put it.
Most Colorado towns score higher on these estimates than towns elsewhere, so within the state Woodmoor is healthier than 77% of graded towns, against 96% nationally.
