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 Olga’s likely range; at the ends of CDC’s ranges the grade could be anywhere from D to B.
What’s behind Olga’s grade
On seven CDC estimates for adults, Olga is healthier than 31% of U.S. towns, #464 of 636 in Florida. Obesity holds the grade up (fewer adults with obesity than 73% of U.S. towns); diabetes pulls it down (better than 14%).
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). Olga’s median household income is $93,576; among the 9,508 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($70K–$117K), it’s healthier than 13%, less than its income alone would suggest.
