Health Grade

What’s behind Hebbronville’s grade

On seven CDC estimates for adults, Hebbronville is healthier than 6% of U.S. towns, #583 of 641 in Texas. Mental distress holds the grade up (fewer adults with frequent mental distress than 40% of U.S. towns); no exercise pulls it down (near the bottom of U.S. towns).

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). Hebbronville’s median household income is $42,455; among the 3,174 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($32K–$53K), it’s healthier than 28%, so it sits below most towns with similar incomes, too.

Where Hebbronville compares well: binge drinking, 12.7% (U.S. 15.4%); taking blood pressure medicine (adults with high blood pressure), 79% (U.S. 76.5%).

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