What’s behind Eustis’ grade
On seven CDC estimates for adults, Eustis is healthier than 22% of U.S. towns, #515 of 636 in Florida. Smoking holds the grade up (fewer adults who smoke than 45% of U.S. towns); diabetes pulls it down (better than 12%).

Eustis’ median household income is $65,373; among the 10,007 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($49K–$82K), it’s healthier than 26%, so it sits below most towns with similar incomes, too.
