What’s behind Maysville’s grade
On seven CDC estimates for adults, Maysville is healthier than 30% of U.S. towns. Obesity holds the grade up (fewer adults with obesity than 66% of U.S. towns); physical distress pulls it down (better than 21%).
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). Maysville’s median household income is $61,495; among the 9,294 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($46K–$77K), it’s healthier than 44%, so it sits below most towns with similar incomes, too.
