Health Grade

What’s behind Seagoville’s grade

On seven CDC estimates for adults, Seagoville is healthier than 13% of U.S. towns, #520 of 641 in Texas. Physical distress holds the grade up (fewer adults with frequent physical distress than 30% of U.S. towns); no exercise pulls it down (better than 6%).

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). Seagoville’s median household income is $66,743; among the 10,167 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($50K–$83K), it’s healthier than 11%, so it sits below most towns with similar incomes, too.

Where Seagoville compares well: cancer, other than skin cancer, 5.1% (U.S. 7.9%).

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