Health Grade

What’s behind Vineyard’s grade

On seven CDC estimates for adults, Vineyard is healthier than 90% of U.S. towns, #47 of 118 in Utah. Diabetes holds the grade up (fewer adults with diabetes than almost every U.S. town); mental distress pulls it down (better than 16%).

Utah towns we grade (118)Healthier than 60%
U.S. towns with similar incomes, $78K–$129K (8,062)Healthier than 89%

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). Vineyard’s median household income is $103,380; among the 8,062 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($78K–$129K), it’s healthier than 89%, about where its income would put it.

Most Utah towns score higher on these estimates than towns elsewhere, so within the state Vineyard is healthier than 60% of graded towns, against 90% nationally.

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