Health Grade

What’s behind Campbell’s grade

On seven CDC estimates for adults, Campbell is healthier than 4% of U.S. towns. Diabetes holds the grade up (fewer adults with diabetes than 16% of U.S. towns); no exercise pulls it down (better than 2%).

U.S. towns with similar incomes, $37K–$62K (5,768)Healthier than 8%

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). Campbell’s median household income is $49,926; among the 5,768 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($37K–$62K), it’s healthier than 8%, so it sits below most towns with similar incomes, too.

A fairly firm grade. With every estimate at the unfavorable or the favorable end of CDC’s likely range, Campbell could be anywhere from D− to C−.
