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 Wisconsin figure falls outside Eagle’s likely range; at the ends of CDC’s ranges the grade could be anywhere from B to A+.
What’s behind Eagle’s grade
On seven CDC estimates for adults, Eagle is healthier than 86% of U.S. towns. All seven estimates beat the typical U.S. town. The strongest is fair or poor health (fewer adults who rate their health fair or poor than 92% of towns); the weakest is obesity, still better than 60%.
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). Eagle’s median household income is $112,083; among the 6,850 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($84K–$140K), it’s healthier than 77%, about where its income would put it.
