What’s behind Farmersville’s grade
On seven CDC estimates for adults, Farmersville is healthier than 18% of U.S. towns, #458 of 641 in Texas. Smoking holds the grade up (fewer adults who smoke than 35% of U.S. towns); fair or poor health pulls it down (better than 14%).
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). Farmersville’s median household income is $81,036; among the 10,713 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($61K–$101K), it’s healthier than 8%, so it sits below most towns with similar incomes, too.
