Health Grade

What’s behind Magnolia’s grade

On seven CDC estimates for adults, Magnolia is healthier than 15% of U.S. towns. Fair or poor health holds the grade up (fewer adults who rate their health fair or poor than 29% of U.S. towns); smoking pulls it down (better than 9%).

U.S. towns with similar incomes, $56K–$94K (10,848)Healthier than 7%

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). Magnolia’s median household income is $75,156; among the 10,848 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($56K–$94K), it’s healthier than 7%, so it sits below most towns with similar incomes, too.

A fairly firm grade. With every estimate at the unfavorable or the favorable end of CDC’s likely range, Magnolia could be anywhere from D− to C+.
