What’s behind Springville’s grade
On seven CDC estimates for adults, Springville is healthier than 91% of U.S. towns, #38 of 118 in Utah. All seven estimates beat the typical U.S. town. The strongest is smoking (fewer adults who smoke than 98% of towns); the weakest is mental distress, still better than 61%.
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). Springville’s median household income is $89,816; among the 9,965 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($67K–$112K), it’s healthier than 97%, about where its income would put it.
Most Utah towns score higher on these estimates than towns elsewhere, so within the state Springville is healthier than 68% of graded towns, against 91% nationally.
