What stands out about health in Cade
What’s behind Cade’s grade
On seven CDC estimates for adults, Cade is healthier than 30% of U.S. towns. Physical distress holds the grade up (fewer adults with frequent physical distress than 54% of U.S. towns); obesity 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). Cade’s median household income is $72,839; among the 10,716 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($55K–$91K), it’s healthier than 29%, so it sits below most towns with similar incomes, too.
