Health Grade

What’s behind Deposit’s grade

On seven CDC estimates for adults, Deposit is healthier than 48% of U.S. towns. Obesity holds the grade up (fewer adults with obesity than 61% of U.S. towns); physical distress pulls it down (better than 33%).

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). Deposit’s median household income is $48,214; among the 5,091 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($36K–$60K), it’s healthier than 88%, more than its income alone would suggest.

Where Deposit compares well: no health insurance (ages 18–64), 6.3% (U.S. 11%).

A fairly firm grade. With every estimate at the unfavorable or the favorable end of CDC’s likely range, Deposit could be anywhere from C− to B+.
