What’s behind Robbins’ grade
On seven CDC estimates for adults, Robbins is healthier than 8% of U.S. towns. Obesity holds the grade up (fewer adults with obesity than 20% of U.S. towns); fair or poor health 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). Robbins’ median household income is $53,438; among the 6,929 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($40K–$67K), it’s healthier than 14%, so it sits below most towns with similar incomes, too.
Where Robbins compares well: cancer, other than skin cancer, 6.9% (U.S. 7.9%).
