What’s behind Astatula’s grade
On seven CDC estimates for adults, Astatula is healthier than 17% of U.S. towns. Obesity holds the grade up (fewer adults with obesity than 34% of U.S. towns); physical distress pulls it down (better than 11%).
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). Astatula’s median household income is $72,063; among the 10,672 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($54K–$90K), it’s healthier than 12%, so it sits below most towns with similar incomes, too.
