Health Grade

What’s behind Stonewood’s grade

On seven CDC estimates for adults, Stonewood is healthier than 8% of U.S. towns. Obesity holds the grade up (fewer adults with obesity than 19% of U.S. towns); mental distress pulls it down (better than 5%).

All U.S. towns we grade (21,250)Healthier than 8%
Less healthyHealthier
U.S. towns with similar incomes, $41K–$68K (7,356)Healthier than 13%

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). Stonewood’s median household income is $54,792; among the 7,356 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($41K–$68K), it’s healthier than 13%, so it sits below most towns with similar incomes, too.

A fairly firm grade. With every estimate at the unfavorable or the favorable end of CDC’s likely range, Stonewood could be anywhere from D− to C+.
