What’s behind Erda’s grade
On seven CDC estimates for adults, Erda is healthier than 85% of U.S. towns, #60 of 118 in Utah. Smoking holds the grade up (fewer adults who smoke than 93% of U.S. towns); obesity pulls it down (better than 50%).
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). Erda’s median household income is $148,676; among the 2,835 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($112K–$186K), it’s healthier than 40%, less than its income alone would suggest.
Most Utah towns score higher on these estimates than towns elsewhere, so within the state Erda is healthier than 49% of graded towns, against 85% nationally.
