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 Price’s likely range; at the ends of CDC’s ranges the grade could be anywhere from C− to B+.
What’s behind Price’s grade
On seven CDC estimates for adults, Price is healthier than 39% of U.S. towns. Smoking holds the grade up (fewer adults who smoke than 69% of U.S. towns); physical distress pulls it down (better than 15%).
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). Price’s median household income is $53,203; among the 6,836 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($40K–$67K), it’s healthier than 73%, more than its income alone would suggest.
Most Utah towns score higher on these estimates than towns elsewhere, so within the state Price is healthier than 0% of graded towns, against 39% nationally.
