What stands out about health in Jones
What’s behind Jones’ grade
On seven CDC estimates for adults, Jones is healthier than 22% of U.S. towns, #51 of 131 in Oklahoma. Fair or poor health holds the grade up (fewer adults who rate their health fair or poor than 31% of U.S. towns); no exercise pulls it down (better than 21%).
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). Jones’ median household income is $77,371; among the 10,806 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($58K–$97K), it’s healthier than 14%, so it sits below most towns with similar incomes, too.
