What stands out about health in Davie
What’s behind Davie’s grade
On seven CDC estimates for adults, Davie is healthier than 74% of U.S. towns, #179 of 636 in Florida. All seven estimates beat the typical U.S. town. The strongest is obesity (fewer adults with obesity than 89% of towns); the weakest is fair or poor health, still better than 58%.
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). Davie’s median household income is $87,250; among the 10,224 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($65K–$109K), it’s healthier than 77%, about where its income would put it.
At 110,851 residents, Davie is graded like any town, from one citywide estimate; its rank among the 395 U.S. cities over 100,000 is the fairer comparison.
