Written from the CDC, Medicare and HRSA data on this page. CDC PLACES 2025 release: modeled estimates for adults, not counts; “higher” and “lower” mean the Virginia figure falls outside Yorkshire’s likely range; at the ends of CDC’s ranges the grade could be anywhere from C− to A−.
What’s behind Yorkshire’s grade
On seven CDC estimates for adults, Yorkshire is healthier than 53% of U.S. towns, #166 of 253 in Virginia. Physical distress holds the grade up (fewer adults with frequent physical distress than 65% 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). Yorkshire’s median household income is $112,829; among the 6,768 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($85K–$141K), it’s healthier than 20%, less than its income alone would suggest.
Most Virginia towns score higher on these estimates than towns elsewhere, so within the state Yorkshire is healthier than 35% of graded towns, against 53% nationally.
