What’s behind Green Hill’s grade
On seven CDC estimates for adults, Green Hill is healthier than 70% of U.S. towns, #20 of 176 in Tennessee. All seven estimates beat the typical U.S. town. The strongest is obesity (fewer adults with obesity than 82% of towns); the weakest is diabetes, still better than 54%.
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). Green Hill’s median household income is $91,818; among the 9,752 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($69K–$115K), it’s healthier than 65%, about where its income would put it.
Few Tennessee towns score lower on these estimates than towns elsewhere, so within the state Green Hill is healthier than 89% of graded towns, against 70% nationally.
