Health Grade

What’s behind Warrenton’s grade

On seven CDC estimates for adults, Warrenton is healthier than 58% of U.S. towns, #65 of 142 in Oregon. No exercise holds the grade up (fewer adults who get no exercise than 82% of U.S. towns); mental distress pulls it down (better than 20%).

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). Warrenton’s median household income is $70,670; among the 10,569 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($53K–$88K), it’s healthier than 72%, 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, Warrenton could be anywhere from C− to A−. The letter shows with “≈”.
