Health Grade

What’s behind Beverly’s grade

On seven CDC estimates for adults, Beverly is healthier than 16% of U.S. towns. Fair or poor health holds the grade up (fewer adults who rate their health fair or poor than 35% of U.S. towns); obesity pulls it down (better than 5%).

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). Beverly’s median household income is $45,926; among the 4,330 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($34K–$57K), it’s healthier than 49%, about where its income would put it.

A rough placement. CDC’s likely ranges are wide here: with every estimate at one end or the other, Beverly could be anywhere from D− to B−. The letter shows with “≈”.
