What’s behind Warm Springs’ grade
On seven CDC estimates for adults, Warm Springs is healthier than 5% of U.S. towns. No exercise holds the grade up (fewer adults who get no exercise than 34% of U.S. towns); mental distress pulls it down (near the bottom of U.S. towns).
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). Warm Springs’ median household income is $54,600; among the 7,301 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($41K–$68K), it’s healthier than 8%, so it sits below most towns with similar incomes, too.
