Health Grade

What’s behind Manito’s grade

On seven CDC estimates for adults, Manito is healthier than 45% of U.S. towns. No exercise holds the grade up (fewer adults who get no exercise than 52% of U.S. towns); mental distress pulls it down (better than 42%).

U.S. towns with similar incomes, $54K–$90K (10,667)Healthier than 53%

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). Manito’s median household income is $71,920; among the 10,667 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($54K–$90K), it’s healthier than 53%, 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, Manito could be anywhere from D to A−. The letter shows with “≈”.
