Health Grade

What’s behind Oakley’s grade

On seven CDC estimates for adults, Oakley is healthier than 92% of U.S. towns. All seven estimates beat the typical U.S. town. The strongest is obesity (fewer adults with obesity than almost every town); the weakest is mental distress, still better than 69%.

U.S. towns with similar incomes, $94K–$157K (5,001)Healthier than 83%

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). Oakley’s median household income is $125,550; among the 5,001 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($94K–$157K), it’s healthier than 83%, about where its income would put it.

A fairly firm grade. With every estimate at the unfavorable or the favorable end of CDC’s likely range, Oakley could be anywhere from B+ to A+.
