What’s behind Conyers’ grade
On seven CDC estimates for adults, Conyers is healthier than 24% of U.S. towns, #147 of 261 in Georgia. Smoking holds the grade up (fewer adults who smoke than 50% of U.S. towns); diabetes pulls it down (better than 12%).
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). Conyers’ median household income is $63,140; among the 9,606 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($47K–$79K), it’s healthier than 32%, so it sits below most towns with similar incomes, too.
Few Georgia towns score lower on these estimates than towns elsewhere, so within the state Conyers is healthier than 44% of graded towns, against 24% nationally.
