Pohocco’s Health Grade: B

On seven CDC health estimates for adults, Pohocco is healthier than 59% of U.S. towns.

B+Self-rated healthB+Physical distressAMental distressCObesityBDiabetesB-SmokingC+Exercise

All U.S. towns we grade (19,420)Healthier than 59%

Less healthyHealthier

Nebraska towns we grade (138)Healthier than 47%

Towns with similar incomes, $75K–$125K (7,934)Healthier than 39%

Wealth explains part of the grade. Pohocco is healthier than 59% of U.S. towns overall, but against towns with similar incomes its edge is smaller.

These are estimates. At the ends of CDC’s likely ranges, Pohocco could be anywhere from C+ to A−.

How the Health Grade works

Seven CDC estimates. Adults in fair or poor health, frequent physical distress, frequent mental distress, obesity, diabetes, smoking and no exercise (CDC PLACES, 2025 release). On each one a town earns the share of U.S. towns doing worse, and those shares are averaged. It’s the same score as our Healthiest towns in Nebraska ranking.
Graded on a national curve. Every U.S. town with 1,000+ residents and all seven estimates (19,420 places) is lined up by score: A+ top 5%A next 10%A- next 10%B B+ to B−, next 30%C C+ to C−, next 30%D D and D−, bottom 15%
Not adjusted for income. Wealthier towns are usually healthier, and the grade shows that as it is. The similar-incomes bar compares Pohocco with U.S. towns whose median household income is within 25% of its own.
Modeled, not measured. CDC combines national survey answers with each area’s age, sex, race and income mix. Pohocco’s figures come from the ZIP codes that cover it, weighted by land area. High blood pressure is left out because it tracks age more than anything else. The confidence line recomputes the grade with every estimate at the low, then the high, end of its range.

About these numbers

How CDC estimates town health

They're modeled estimatesCDC combines a large national health survey with each area's age, sex, race and income mix to estimate local rates. Nobody surveyed Pohocco door to door.

Close calls stay grayEvery figure has a margin of error. When the Nebraska figure falls inside it, we don't call Pohocco better or worse.

Why a ZIP codeCDC publishes towns like Pohocco by ZIP code. We weight the ZIP codes that cover Pohocco by how much of its land each one covers.

CDC PLACES: Local Data for Better Health, 2025 release. The Nebraska figure combines its counties, weighted by adult population.
