Health Grade

What’s behind Robinhood’s grade

On seven CDC estimates for adults, Robinhood is healthier than 46% of U.S. towns. Mental distress holds the grade up (fewer adults with frequent mental distress than 56% of U.S. towns); no exercise pulls it down (better than 29%).

U.S. towns with similar incomes, $52K–$87K (10,515)Healthier than 58%

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). Robinhood’s median household income is $69,875; among the 10,515 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($52K–$87K), it’s healthier than 58%, about where its income would put it.

A rough placement. CDC’s likely ranges are wide here: with every estimate at one end or the other, Robinhood could be anywhere from D to A−. The letter shows with “≈”.
