What’s behind Peebles’ grade
On seven CDC estimates for adults, Peebles is healthier than 4% of U.S. towns. Obesity holds the grade up (fewer adults with obesity than 15% of U.S. towns); smoking pulls it down (better than 2%).
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). Peebles’ median household income is $62,500; among the 9,527 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($47K–$78K), it’s healthier than 3%, so it sits below most towns with similar incomes, too.
