Health Grade

What’s behind Spring Valley’s grade

On seven CDC estimates for adults, Spring Valley is healthier than 52% of U.S. towns, #19 of 42 in Nevada. Obesity holds the grade up (fewer adults with obesity than 86% of U.S. towns); mental distress pulls it down (better than 24%).

U.S. towns with similar incomes, $56K–$93K (10,854)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). Spring Valley’s median household income is $74,511; among the 10,854 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($56K–$93K), it’s healthier than 59%, about where its income would put it.

At 219,187 residents, Spring Valley is graded like any town, from one citywide estimate; its rank among the 395 U.S. cities over 100,000 is the fairer comparison.

A rough placement. CDC’s likely ranges are wide here: with every estimate at one end or the other, Spring Valley could be anywhere from C to A−. The letter shows with “≈”. For a city of 173,678 adults, CDC’s ranges are narrow (obesity 24.9–34%).
