Health Grade

What’s behind Reid’s grade

On seven CDC estimates for adults, Reid is healthier than 55% of U.S. towns. Mental distress holds the grade up (fewer adults with frequent mental distress than 78% of U.S. towns); no exercise pulls it down (better than 32%).

U.S. towns with similar incomes, $65K–$109K (10,243)Healthier than 48%

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). Reid’s median household income is $87,083; among the 10,243 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($65K–$109K), it’s healthier than 48%, about where its income would put it.

A rough placement. CDC’s likely ranges are wide here: with every estimate at one end or the other, Reid could be anywhere from C to A−. The letter shows with “≈”. These are ZIP code figures (ZIP 54440,54476), weighted by land area, which can reach past town lines.
