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

Health Grade

What’s behind Mulino’s grade

On seven CDC estimates for adults, Mulino is healthier than 72% of U.S. towns. All seven estimates beat the typical U.S. town. The strongest is no exercise (fewer adults who get no exercise than 86% of towns); the weakest is physical distress, still better than 56%.

U.S. towns with similar incomes, $81K–$136K (7,370)Healthier than 51%

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). Mulino’s median household income is $108,482; among the 7,370 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($81K–$136K), it’s healthier than 51%, 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, Mulino could be anywhere from C+ to A. The letter shows with “≈”.
