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 Utah figure falls outside Naples’ likely range; at the ends of CDC’s ranges the grade could be anywhere from C to A−.
What’s behind Naples’ grade
On seven CDC estimates for adults, Naples is healthier than 57% of U.S. towns. Diabetes holds the grade up (fewer adults with diabetes than 79% of U.S. towns); mental distress pulls it down (better than 19%).
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). Naples’ median household income is $97,865; among the 8,892 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($73K–$122K), it’s healthier than 38%, less than its income alone would suggest.
