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). Aubrey’s median household income is $101,574; among the 8,353 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($76K–$127K), it’s healthier than 61%, about where its income would put it.

A fairly firm grade. With every estimate at the unfavorable or the favorable end of CDC’s likely range, Aubrey could be anywhere from B− to A.
