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 Kentucky figure falls outside Hebron’s likely range; at the ends of CDC’s ranges the grade could be anywhere from C to A−.
What’s behind Hebron’s grade
On seven CDC estimates for adults, Hebron is healthier than 55% of U.S. towns, #43 of 141 in Kentucky. Diabetes holds the grade up (fewer adults with diabetes than 79% of U.S. towns); obesity pulls it down (better than 20%).
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). Hebron’s median household income is $106,719; among the 7,647 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($80K–$133K), it’s healthier than 27%, less than its income alone would suggest.
Few Kentucky towns score lower on these estimates than towns elsewhere, so within the state Hebron is healthier than 70% of graded towns, against 55% nationally.
