CDC PLACES 2025 release: modeled estimates for adults, not counts; “higher” and “lower” mean the New York figure falls outside Eden’s likely range; Eden’s figures come from ZIP codes 14057, 14075, which may reach past town lines; at the ends of CDC’s ranges the grade could be anywhere from B− to A.
What’s behind Eden’s grade
On seven CDC estimates for adults, Eden is healthier than 80% of U.S. towns, #273 of 755 in New York. All seven estimates beat the typical U.S. town. The strongest is fair or poor health (fewer adults who rate their health fair or poor than 82% of towns); the weakest is physical distress, still better than 67%.
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). Eden’s median household income is $97,262; among the 8,968 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($73K–$122K), it’s healthier than 77%, about where its income would put it.
Most New York towns score higher on these estimates than towns elsewhere, so within the state Eden is healthier than 64% of graded towns, against 80% nationally.
