What stands out about health in Dublin
What’s behind Dublin’s grade
On seven CDC estimates for adults, Dublin is healthier than 69% of U.S. towns. Diabetes holds the grade up (fewer adults with diabetes than 81% of U.S. towns); smoking pulls it down (better than 39%).
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). Dublin’s median household income is $87,813; among the 10,171 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($66K–$110K), it’s healthier than 69%, about where its income would put it.
