What stands out about health in Hubbard

Hubbard trails towns with similar incomes

Hubbard is healthier than 45% of U.S. towns, and only 19% of the 8,331 towns with similar household incomes ($76K–$127K), so income alone doesn’t explain its grade. Health Grade ↓

Hubbard is behind on routine checkups

It trails Oregon on three of five routine checkups and screenings: dentist visits (55.8% vs 64.7%), cholesterol checks (80.8% vs 84%) and colon screening (56% vs 63.4%). Checkups ↓

Many Hubbard adults are uninsured, but health holds up

1 in 7 working-age adults has no health insurance (14.4%, vs 8.5% across Oregon). Yet the share who say their health is fair or poor, 21.2%, is about level with the state’s 19%. Checkups ↓

Obesity runs high in Hubbard

44.1% of adults have obesity, vs 33.6% across Oregon. Conditions ↓

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 Hubbard’s likely range; at the ends of CDC’s ranges the grade could be anywhere from C− to B+.

Health Grade

What’s behind Hubbard’s grade

On seven CDC estimates for adults, Hubbard is healthier than 45% of U.S. towns, #94 of 142 in Oregon. No exercise holds the grade up (fewer adults who get no exercise than 73% of U.S. towns); obesity pulls it down (better than 5%).

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). Hubbard’s median household income is $101,771; among the 8,331 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($76K–$127K), it’s healthier than 19%, less than its income alone would suggest.

Where Hubbard compares well: high blood pressure, 28.9% (U.S. 34.4%); cancer, other than skin cancer, 6% (U.S. 7.9%); coronary heart disease, 5% (U.S. 6.4%).

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