What stands out about health in Osseo
What’s behind Osseo’s grade
On seven CDC estimates for adults, Osseo is healthier than 89% of U.S. towns, #56 of 271 in Minnesota. All seven estimates beat the typical U.S. town. The strongest is diabetes (fewer adults with diabetes than 93% of towns); the weakest is smoking, still better than 75%.

Osseo’s median household income is $62,119; among the 9,440 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($47K–$78K), it’s healthier than 99%, about where its income would put it.
