What’s behind Hogansville’s grade
On seven CDC estimates for adults, Hogansville is healthier than 23% of U.S. towns, #149 of 261 in Georgia. Obesity holds the grade up (fewer adults with obesity than 55% of U.S. towns); mental distress pulls it down (better than 15%).
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). Hogansville’s median household income is $62,620; among the 9,530 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($47K–$78K), it’s healthier than 32%, so it sits below most towns with similar incomes, too.
Few Georgia towns score lower on these estimates than towns elsewhere, so within the state Hogansville is healthier than 43% of graded towns, against 23% nationally.
