What’s behind Indiantown’s grade
On seven CDC estimates for adults, Indiantown is healthier than 16% of U.S. towns, #553 of 636 in Florida. Obesity holds the grade up (fewer adults with obesity than 62% of U.S. towns); fair or poor health pulls it down (better than 4%).
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). Indiantown’s median household income is $55,520; among the 7,581 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($42K–$69K), it’s healthier than 28%, so it sits below most towns with similar incomes, too.
