What stands out about health in Hyrum
What’s behind Hyrum’s grade
On seven CDC estimates for adults, Hyrum is healthier than 90% of U.S. towns, #43 of 118 in Utah. All seven estimates beat the typical U.S. town. The strongest is no exercise (fewer adults who get no exercise than 97% of towns); the weakest is mental distress, still better than 58%.
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). Hyrum’s median household income is $88,725; among the 10,116 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($67K–$111K), it’s healthier than 96%, about where its income would put it.
Most Utah towns score higher on these estimates than towns elsewhere, so within the state Hyrum is healthier than 64% of graded towns, against 90% nationally.
