What’s behind Cleveland Township’s grade
On seven CDC estimates for adults, Cleveland Township is healthier than 29% of U.S. towns, #330 of 589 in Indiana. No exercise holds the grade up (fewer adults who get no exercise than 53% of U.S. towns); obesity 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). Cleveland Township’s median household income is $84,375; among the 10,442 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($63K–$105K), it’s healthier than 16%, so it sits below most towns with similar incomes, too.
Few Indiana towns score lower on these estimates than towns elsewhere, so within the state Cleveland Township is healthier than 44% of graded towns, against 29% nationally.
