What’s behind Mangonia Park’s grade

On seven CDC estimates for adults, Mangonia Park is healthier than 8% of U.S. towns, #588 of 636 in Florida. Obesity holds the grade up (fewer adults with obesity than 33% of U.S. towns); mental distress pulls it down (better than 3%).

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). Mangonia Park’s median household income is $60,781; among the 9,128 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($46K–$76K), it’s healthier than 8%, so it sits below most towns with similar incomes, too.

Where Mangonia Park compares well: high cholesterol (adults screened in 5 years), 31.1% (U.S. 37.1%); cancer, other than skin cancer, 4.5% (U.S. 7.9%); binge drinking, 11.4% (U.S. 15.4%).

A fairly firm grade. With every estimate at the unfavorable or the favorable end of CDC’s likely range, Mangonia Park could be anywhere from D− to C.
