What’s behind Hutchison’s grade
On seven CDC estimates for adults, Hutchison is healthier than 62% of U.S. towns, #143 of 253 in Virginia. Obesity holds the grade up (fewer adults with obesity than 89% of U.S. towns); no exercise pulls it down (better than 30%).
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). Hutchison’s median household income is $105,651; among the 7,779 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($79K–$132K), it’s healthier than 37%, less than its income alone would suggest.
Most Virginia towns score higher on these estimates than towns elsewhere, so within the state Hutchison is healthier than 43% of graded towns, against 62% nationally.
