What’s behind Horizon City’s grade
On seven CDC estimates for adults, Horizon City is healthier than 27% of U.S. towns, #386 of 641 in Texas. Smoking holds the grade up (fewer adults who smoke than 66% of U.S. towns); fair or poor health pulls it down (better than 9%).

Horizon City’s median household income is $65,737; among the 10,055 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($49K–$82K), it’s healthier than 33%, so it sits below most towns with similar incomes, too.
