On seven CDC estimates for adults, Hidden Valley is healthier than 70% of U.S. towns, #63 of 589 in Indiana. All seven estimates beat the typical U.S. town. The strongest is no exercise (fewer adults who get no exercise than 77% of towns); the weakest is smoking, still better than 53%.

U.S. towns with similar incomes, $91K–$152K (5,583)Healthier than 34%

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). Hidden Valley’s median household income is $121,208; among the 5,583 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($91K–$152K), it’s healthier than 34%, less than its income alone would suggest.

Few Indiana towns score lower on these estimates than towns elsewhere, so within the state Hidden Valley is healthier than 89% of graded towns, against 70% nationally.

A rough placement. CDC’s likely ranges are wide here: with every estimate at one end or the other, Hidden Valley could be anywhere from C to A. The letter shows with “≈”.
