What’s behind South Greeley’s grade
On seven CDC estimates for adults, South Greeley is healthier than 19% of U.S. towns. Diabetes holds the grade up (fewer adults with diabetes than 51% of U.S. towns); no exercise pulls it down (better than 9%).
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). South Greeley’s median household income is $56,844; among the 7,964 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($43K–$71K), it’s healthier than 33%, so it sits below most towns with similar incomes, too.
Most Wyoming towns score higher on these estimates than towns elsewhere, so within the state South Greeley is healthier than 4% of graded towns, against 19% nationally.
