What’s behind Bonanza’s grade
On seven CDC estimates for adults, Bonanza is healthier than 28% of U.S. towns, #138 of 261 in Georgia. Physical distress holds the grade up (fewer adults with frequent physical distress than 61% of U.S. towns); obesity pulls it down (better than 4%).

Bonanza’s median household income is $60,260; among the 8,996 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($45K–$75K), it’s healthier than 44%, so it sits below most towns with similar incomes, too.
