What’s behind Danville’s grade
On seven CDC estimates for adults, Danville is healthier than 3% of U.S. towns. Smoking holds the grade up (fewer adults who smoke than 16% of U.S. towns); no exercise pulls it down (near the bottom of U.S. towns).
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). Danville’s median household income is $64,420; among the 9,807 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($48K–$81K), it’s healthier than 2%, so it sits below most towns with similar incomes, too.
