What’s behind Beverly’s grade
On seven CDC estimates for adults, Beverly is healthier than 52% of U.S. towns, #407 of 468 in New Jersey. Obesity holds the grade up (fewer adults with obesity than 64% of U.S. towns); no exercise pulls it down (better than 34%).
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). Beverly’s median household income is $89,458; among the 9,999 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($67K–$112K), it’s healthier than 41%, so it sits below most towns with similar incomes, too.
Making ends meet
