What’s behind Warner Robins’ grade
On seven CDC estimates for adults, Warner Robins is healthier than 30% of U.S. towns, #135 of 261 in Georgia. Physical distress holds the grade up (fewer adults with frequent physical distress than 53% of U.S. towns); obesity pulls it down (better than 13%).
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). Warner Robins’ median household income is $66,970; among the 10,194 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($50K–$84K), 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 Warner Robins is healthier than 48% of graded towns, against 30% nationally.
