Health Grade

What’s behind Broadview Park’s grade

On seven CDC estimates for adults, Broadview Park is healthier than 37% of U.S. towns, #426 of 636 in Florida. Obesity holds the grade up (fewer adults with obesity than 74% of U.S. towns); fair or poor health pulls it down (better than 14%).

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). Broadview Park’s median household income is $73,786; among the 10,832 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($55K–$92K), it’s healthier than 37%, so it sits below most towns with similar incomes, too.

Where Broadview Park compares well: arthritis, 18.9% (U.S. 25.3%); cancer, other than skin cancer, 5% (U.S. 7.9%).

A rough placement. CDC’s likely ranges are wide here: with every estimate at one end or the other, Broadview Park could be anywhere from D to B+. The letter shows with “≈”.
