What’s behind Grandview’s grade
On seven CDC estimates for adults, Grandview is healthier than 16% of U.S. towns, #168 of 247 in Missouri. Physical distress holds the grade up (fewer adults with frequent physical distress than 38% of U.S. towns); mental distress pulls it down (better than 6%).
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). Grandview’s median household income is $53,447; among the 6,930 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($40K–$67K), it’s healthier than 32%, so it sits below most towns with similar incomes, too.
Few Missouri towns score lower on these estimates than towns elsewhere, so within the state Grandview is healthier than 32% of graded towns, against 16% nationally.
