What’s behind Grandview’s grade
On seven CDC estimates for adults, Grandview is healthier than 13% of U.S. towns, #280 of 285 in Washington. Smoking holds the grade up (fewer adults who smoke than 61% of U.S. towns); fair or poor health pulls it down (better than 3%).
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). Grandview’s median household income is $61,106; among the 9,198 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($46K–$76K), it’s healthier than 17%, so it sits below most towns with similar incomes, too.
Where Grandview compares well: arthritis, 20.1% (U.S. 25.3%); cancer, other than skin cancer, 4.7% (U.S. 7.9%).
