Health Grade

What’s behind Coburg’s grade

On seven CDC estimates for adults, Coburg is healthier than 64% of U.S. towns. No exercise holds the grade up (fewer adults who get no exercise than 91% of U.S. towns); mental distress pulls it down (better than 28%).

U.S. towns with similar incomes, $74K–$123K (8,878)Healthier than 49%

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). Coburg’s median household income is $98,000; among the 8,878 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($74K–$123K), it’s healthier than 49%, about where its income would put it.

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