What’s behind Sebago’s grade
On seven CDC estimates for adults, Sebago is healthier than 45% of U.S. towns. Obesity holds the grade up (fewer adults with obesity than 82% of U.S. towns); mental distress pulls it down (better than 17%).
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). Sebago’s median household income is $78,438; among the 10,820 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($59K–$98K), it’s healthier than 44%, so it sits below most towns with similar incomes, too.
