Health Grade

What’s behind Hebron’s grade

On seven CDC estimates for adults, Hebron is healthier than 40% of U.S. towns. Fair or poor health holds the grade up (fewer adults who rate their health fair or poor than 58% of U.S. towns); mental distress pulls it down (better than 28%).

Less healthyHealthier
U.S. towns with similar incomes, $50K–$83K (10,158)Healthier than 52%

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). Hebron’s median household income is $66,627; among the 10,158 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($50K–$83K), it’s healthier than 52%, 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, Hebron could be anywhere from D to A−. The letter shows with “≈”.
