What’s behind Lilburn’s grade
On seven CDC estimates for adults, Lilburn is healthier than 27% of U.S. towns, #144 of 261 in Georgia. Mental distress holds the grade up (fewer adults with frequent mental distress than 58% of U.S. towns); no exercise pulls it down (better than 7%).
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). Lilburn’s median household income is $63,581; among the 9,659 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($48K–$79K), it’s healthier than 37%, 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 Lilburn is healthier than 45% of graded towns, against 27% nationally.
