What’s behind Holiday’s grade
On seven CDC estimates for adults, Holiday is healthier than 11% of U.S. towns, #575 of 636 in Florida. Obesity holds the grade up (fewer adults with obesity than 50% of U.S. towns); physical distress pulls it down (better than 5%).

Holiday’s median household income is $48,186; among the 5,079 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($36K–$60K), it’s healthier than 32%, so it sits below most towns with similar incomes, too.
