What’s behind LeChee’s grade
On seven CDC estimates for adults, LeChee is healthier than 10% of U.S. towns. Obesity holds the grade up (fewer adults with obesity than 70% of U.S. towns); physical distress 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). LeChee’s median household income is $61,731; among the 9,339 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($46K–$77K), it’s healthier than 11%, so it sits below most towns with similar incomes, too.
