Health Grade

What’s behind Weston’s grade

On seven CDC estimates for adults, Weston is healthier than 41% of U.S. towns. Physical distress holds the grade up (fewer adults with frequent physical distress than 54% of U.S. towns); obesity pulls it down (better than 17%).

U.S. towns with similar incomes, $46K–$76K (9,112)Healthier than 63%

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). Weston’s median household income is $60,714; among the 9,112 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($46K–$76K), it’s healthier than 63%, more than its income alone would suggest.

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