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 White City’s likely range; at the ends of CDC’s ranges the grade could be anywhere from D− to C+.
What’s behind White City’s grade
On seven CDC estimates for adults, White City is healthier than 15% of U.S. towns, #135 of 142 in Oregon. Obesity holds the grade up (fewer adults with obesity than 40% 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). White City’s median household income is $71,175; among the 10,603 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($53K–$89K), it’s healthier than 10%, so it sits below most towns with similar incomes, too.
Where White City compares well: cancer, other than skin cancer, 6.3% (U.S. 7.9%).
