Health Grade

What’s behind Ivanhoe’s grade

On seven CDC estimates for adults, Ivanhoe is healthier than 8% of U.S. towns, #803 of 847 in California. Smoking holds the grade up (fewer adults who smoke than 32% of U.S. towns); fair or poor health pulls it down (near the bottom of U.S. towns).

U.S. towns with similar incomes, $39K–$65K (6,522)Healthier than 15%

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). Ivanhoe’s median household income is $52,179; among the 6,522 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($39K–$65K), it’s healthier than 15%, so it sits below most towns with similar incomes, too.

Where Ivanhoe compares well: cancer, other than skin cancer, 4.5% (U.S. 7.9%).

A fairly firm grade. With every estimate at the unfavorable or the favorable end of CDC’s likely range, Ivanhoe could be anywhere from D− to C.
