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 Wyoming figure falls outside Mountain View’s likely range; at the ends of CDC’s ranges the grade could be anywhere from C to A.
What’s behind Mountain View’s grade
On seven CDC estimates for adults, Mountain View is healthier than 68% of U.S. towns. Diabetes holds the grade up (fewer adults with diabetes than 82% of U.S. towns); smoking pulls it down (better 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). Mountain View’s median household income is $98,188; among the 8,843 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($74K–$123K), it’s healthier than 55%, about where its income would put it.
