Cahokia Heights was formed on May 6, 2021 by the merger of the villages of Cahokia and Alorton and the city of Centreville. CDC’s health estimates still use the 2020 Census map, so they cover the former places but not Cahokia Heights itself. Without its estimates there’s no Health Grade; here is what we do have.
