Written from the CDC, Medicare and HRSA data on this page. CDC PLACES 2025 release: modeled estimates for adults, not counts; “higher” and “lower” mean the New York figure falls outside Holland’s likely range; Holland’s figures come from ZIP codes 14080, 14145, which may reach past town lines; at the ends of CDC’s ranges the grade could be anywhere from C to A−.
What’s behind Holland’s grade
On seven CDC estimates for adults, Holland is healthier than 63% of U.S. towns, #434 of 755 in New York. Obesity holds the grade up (fewer adults with obesity than 69% of U.S. towns); physical distress pulls it down (better than 48%).
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). Holland’s median household income is $66,198; among the 10,122 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($50K–$83K), it’s healthier than 83%, more than its income alone would suggest.
Most New York towns score higher on these estimates than towns elsewhere, so within the state Holland is healthier than 43% of graded towns, against 63% nationally.
