What’s behind Cleora’s grade
On seven CDC estimates for adults, Cleora is healthier than 22% of U.S. towns. Mental distress holds the grade up (fewer adults with frequent mental distress than 77% of U.S. towns); diabetes pulls it down (better than 4%).

Cleora’s median household income is $82,321; among the 10,598 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($62K–$103K), it’s healthier than 10%, so it sits below most towns with similar incomes, too.
