Health Grade

What’s behind Tyhee’s grade

On seven CDC estimates for adults, Tyhee is healthier than 61% of U.S. towns. Mental distress holds the grade up (fewer adults with frequent mental distress than 72% of U.S. towns); physical distress pulls it down (better than 31%).

U.S. towns with similar incomes, $70K–$116K (9,570)Healthier than 49%

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). Tyhee’s median household income is $93,125; among the 9,570 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($70K–$116K), it’s healthier than 49%, about where its income would put it.

A rough placement. CDC’s likely ranges are wide here: with every estimate at one end or the other, Tyhee could be anywhere from C− to A. The letter shows with “≈”.
