What’s behind Spring City’s grade
On seven CDC estimates for adults, Spring City is healthier than 53% of U.S. towns. Obesity holds the grade up (fewer adults with obesity than 83% of U.S. towns); physical distress pulls it down (better than 16%).

Spring City’s median household income is $71,250; among the 10,615 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($53K–$89K), it’s healthier than 65%, about where its income would put it.
