What’s behind Deer Park’s grade
On seven CDC estimates for adults, Deer Park is healthier than 36% of U.S. towns, #260 of 285 in Washington. No exercise holds the grade up (fewer adults who get no exercise than 61% of U.S. towns); physical distress pulls it down (better than 21%).
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). Deer Park’s median household income is $54,391; among the 7,232 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($41K–$68K), it’s healthier than 66%, more than its income alone would suggest.
Most Washington towns score higher on these estimates than towns elsewhere, so within the state Deer Park is healthier than 9% of graded towns, against 36% nationally.
