What’s behind Floresville’s grade
On seven CDC estimates for adults, Floresville is healthier than 31% of U.S. towns, #351 of 641 in Texas. Smoking holds the grade up (fewer adults who smoke than 69% of U.S. towns); fair or poor health pulls it down (better than 12%).
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). Floresville’s median household income is $65,270; among the 9,978 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($49K–$82K), it’s healthier than 41%, so it sits below most towns with similar incomes, too.
