What’s behind Raymondville’s grade
On seven CDC estimates for adults, Raymondville is healthier than 4% of U.S. towns, #603 of 641 in Texas. Smoking holds the grade up (fewer adults who smoke than 21% 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). Raymondville’s median household income is $51,442; among the 6,280 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($39K–$64K), it’s healthier than 8%, so it sits below most towns with similar incomes, too.
Where Raymondville compares well: cancer, other than skin cancer, 4.4% (U.S. 7.9%).
