Health Grade

What’s behind Eagle’s grade

On seven CDC estimates for adults, Eagle is healthier than 41% of U.S. towns. Diabetes holds the grade up (fewer adults with diabetes than 56% of U.S. towns); physical distress pulls it down (better than 31%).

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). Eagle’s median household income is $72,778; among the 10,710 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($55K–$91K), it’s healthier than 46%, about where its income would put it.

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

A rough placement. CDC’s likely ranges are wide here: with every estimate at one end or the other, Eagle could be anywhere from D to B+. The letter shows with “≈”. These are ZIP code figures (ZIP 14024,14009), weighted by land area, which can reach past town lines.
