What’s behind Woodville’s grade
On seven CDC estimates for adults, Woodville is healthier than 7% of U.S. towns. Obesity holds the grade up (fewer adults with obesity than 22% of U.S. towns); diabetes pulls it down (better than 6%).

Woodville’s median household income is $45,865; among the 4,319 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($34K–$57K), it’s healthier than 24%, so it sits below most towns with similar incomes, too.
