What’s behind Mogul’s grade

On seven CDC estimates for adults, Mogul is healthier than 90% of U.S. towns. All seven estimates beat the typical U.S. town. The strongest is no exercise (fewer adults who get no exercise than 96% of towns); the weakest is physical distress, still better than 72%.

U.S. towns with similar incomes, $109K–$182K (3,109)Healthier than 59%

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). Mogul’s median household income is $145,250; among the 3,109 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($109K–$182K), it’s healthier than 59%, 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, Mogul could be anywhere from B+ to A+.
