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 Hawaii figure falls outside Maili’s likely range; at the ends of CDC’s ranges the grade could be anywhere from C− to B.
What’s behind Maili’s grade
On seven CDC estimates for adults, Maili is healthier than 38% of U.S. towns, #82 of 93 in Hawaii. Obesity holds the grade up (fewer adults with obesity than 65% of U.S. towns); mental distress pulls it down (better than 16%).
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). Maili’s median household income is $111,542; among the 6,931 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($84K–$139K), it’s healthier than 9%, less than its income alone would suggest.
Most Hawaii towns score higher on these estimates than towns elsewhere, so within the state Maili is healthier than 12% of graded towns, against 38% nationally.
