Health Grade

What’s behind Warner’s grade

On seven CDC estimates for adults, Warner is healthier than 14% of U.S. towns. Diabetes holds the grade up (fewer adults with diabetes than 37% of U.S. towns); mental distress pulls it down (better than 2%).

All U.S. towns we grade (21,250)Healthier than 14%
Less healthyHealthier
U.S. towns with similar incomes, $42K–$69K (7,560)Healthier than 25%

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). Warner’s median household income is $55,479; among the 7,560 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($42K–$69K), it’s healthier than 25%, so it sits below most towns with similar incomes, too.

A fairly firm grade. With every estimate at the unfavorable or the favorable end of CDC’s likely range, Warner could be anywhere from D− to C+.
