What’s behind Enochville’s grade
On seven CDC estimates for adults, Enochville is healthier than 17% of U.S. towns, #242 of 289 in North Carolina. Obesity holds the grade up (fewer adults with obesity than 39% of U.S. towns); physical distress pulls it down (better than 15%).

Enochville’s median household income is $66,225; among the 10,124 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($50K–$83K), it’s healthier than 17%, so it sits below most towns with similar incomes, too.
