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 Sebree’s likely range; at the ends of CDC’s ranges the grade could be anywhere from D− to C+.
What’s behind Sebree’s grade
On seven CDC estimates for adults, Sebree is healthier than 11% of U.S. towns. Mental distress holds the grade up (fewer adults with frequent mental distress than 33% of U.S. towns); physical distress pulls it down (better than 9%).
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). Sebree’s median household income is $58,707; among the 8,567 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($44K–$73K), it’s healthier than 15%, so it sits below most towns with similar incomes, too.
