What’s behind Drumright’s grade
On seven CDC estimates for adults, Drumright is healthier than 7% of U.S. towns, #97 of 131 in Oklahoma. Diabetes holds the grade up (fewer adults with diabetes than 17% of U.S. towns); smoking pulls it down (better than 4%).

Drumright’s median household income is $45,580; among the 4,216 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($34K–$57K), it’s healthier than 24%, so it sits below most towns with similar incomes, too.
