Written from the CDC, Medicare and HRSA data on this page. CDC PLACES 2025 release: modeled estimates for adults, not counts; “higher” and “lower” mean the Texas figure falls outside Uhland’s likely range; at the ends of CDC’s ranges the grade could be anywhere from B− to A.
What’s behind Uhland’s grade
On seven CDC estimates for adults, Uhland is healthier than 70% of U.S. towns. Smoking holds the grade up (fewer adults who smoke than 89% of U.S. towns); obesity pulls it down (better than 47%).

Uhland’s median household income is $92,238; among the 9,674 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($69K–$115K), it’s healthier than 66%, about where its income would put it.
