Written from the CDC, Medicare and HRSA data on this page. CDC PLACES 2025 release: modeled estimates for adults, not counts; “higher” and “lower” mean the Florida figure falls outside Mango’s likely range; at the ends of CDC’s ranges the grade could be anywhere from D− to C+.
What’s behind Mango’s grade
On seven CDC estimates for adults, Mango is healthier than 15% of U.S. towns, #555 of 636 in Florida. Obesity holds the grade up (fewer adults with obesity than 49% of U.S. towns); mental distress pulls it down (better than 6%).
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). Mango’s median household income is $52,524; among the 6,646 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($39K–$66K), it’s healthier than 33%, so it sits below most towns with similar incomes, too.
Where Mango compares well: cancer, other than skin cancer, 6.2% (U.S. 7.9%).
