What’s behind Center Hill’s grade
On seven CDC estimates for adults, Center Hill is healthier than 13% of U.S. towns. Obesity holds the grade up (fewer adults with obesity than 44% of U.S. towns); physical distress pulls it down (better than 7%).

Center Hill’s median household income is $68,375; among the 10,371 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($51K–$85K), it’s healthier than 10%, so it sits below most towns with similar incomes, too.
