What stands out about health in Roy
What’s behind Roy’s grade
On seven CDC estimates for adults, Roy is healthier than 77% of U.S. towns, #84 of 118 in Utah. Diabetes holds the grade up (fewer adults with diabetes than 95% of U.S. towns); mental distress pulls it down (better than 20%).

Roy’s median household income is $91,282; among the 9,822 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($68K–$114K), it’s healthier than 77%, about where its income would put it.
