Written from the CDC, Medicare and HRSA data on this page. CDC PLACES 2025 release: modeled estimates for adults, not counts; “higher” and “lower” mean the Oregon figure falls outside Estacada’s likely range; at the ends of CDC’s ranges the grade could be anywhere from C− to B+.
What’s behind Estacada’s grade
On seven CDC estimates for adults, Estacada is healthier than 44% of U.S. towns, #96 of 142 in Oregon. Diabetes holds the grade up (fewer adults with diabetes than 78% of U.S. towns); mental distress pulls it down (better than 4%).

Estacada’s median household income is $94,435; among the 9,383 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($71K–$118K), it’s healthier than 25%, less than its income alone would suggest.
