Health Grade

What’s behind White City’s grade

On seven CDC estimates for adults, White City is healthier than 82% of U.S. towns, #69 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 33%).

U.S. towns with similar incomes, $80K–$133K (7,693)Healthier than 72%

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). White City’s median household income is $106,357; among the 7,693 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($80K–$133K), it’s healthier than 72%, about where its income would put it.

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