What’s behind Easton’s grade
On seven CDC estimates for adults, Easton is healthier than 12% of U.S. towns. Mental distress holds the grade up (fewer adults with frequent mental distress than 56% of U.S. towns); no exercise pulls it down (better than 6%).

Easton’s median household income is $54,405; among the 7,235 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($41K–$68K), it’s healthier than 22%, so it sits below most towns with similar incomes, too.
