What stands out about health in Fremont

New Hampshire sets a high bar

Fremont is healthier than 85% of U.S. towns, but only 43% of the 126 New Hampshire towns we grade. Health Grade ↓

Against towns with similar incomes, Fremont’s lead shrinks

Fremont is healthier than 85% of U.S. towns, but 67% of the 5,642 towns with similar household incomes ($91K–$151K). Part of its edge is what towns with its incomes tend to have. Health Grade ↓

Written from the CDC, Medicare and HRSA data on this page. CDC PLACES 2025 release: modeled estimates for adults, not counts; “higher” and “lower” mean the New Hampshire figure falls outside Fremont’s likely range; Fremont’s figures come from ZIP code 03044, which may reach past town lines; at the ends of CDC’s ranges the grade could be anywhere from B− to A+.

Health Grade

What’s behind Fremont’s grade

On seven CDC estimates for adults, Fremont is healthier than 85% of U.S. towns, #73 of 126 in New Hampshire. All seven estimates beat the typical U.S. town. The strongest is fair or poor health (fewer adults who rate their health fair or poor than 89% of towns); the weakest is obesity, still better than 73%.

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). Fremont’s median household income is $120,781; among the 5,642 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($91K–$151K), it’s healthier than 67%, about where its income would put it.

A fairly firm grade. With every estimate at the unfavorable or the favorable end of CDC’s likely range, Fremont could be anywhere from B− to A+. These are ZIP code figures (ZIP 03044), weighted by land area, which can reach past town lines.
