What’s behind Weber City’s grade
On seven CDC estimates for adults, Weber City is healthier than 8% of U.S. towns. Obesity holds the grade up (fewer adults with obesity than 29% of U.S. towns); physical distress pulls it down (better than 2%).

Weber City’s median household income is $47,778; among the 4,935 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($36K–$60K), it’s healthier than 24%, so it sits below most towns with similar incomes, too.
