What’s behind Naples’ grade
On seven CDC estimates for adults, Naples is healthier than 54% of U.S. towns. Mental distress holds the grade up (fewer adults with frequent mental distress than 75% of U.S. towns); physical distress pulls it down (better than 35%).
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). Naples’ median household income is $69,702; among the 10,500 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($52K–$87K), it’s healthier than 68%, about where its income would put it.
