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 Nevada figure falls outside Hawthorne’s likely range; at the ends of CDC’s ranges the grade could be anywhere from D− to C.
What’s behind Hawthorne’s grade
On seven CDC estimates for adults, Hawthorne is healthier than 8% of U.S. towns. Obesity holds the grade up (fewer adults with obesity than 39% of U.S. towns); physical distress pulls it down (better than 3%).
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). Hawthorne’s median household income is $67,300; among the 10,249 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($50K–$84K), it’s healthier than 5%, so it sits below most towns with similar incomes, too.
