What’s behind Danville’s grade
On seven CDC estimates for adults, Danville is healthier than 76% of U.S. towns, #40 of 589 in Indiana. All seven estimates beat the typical U.S. town. The strongest is no exercise (fewer adults who get no exercise than 87% of towns); the weakest is obesity, still better than 52%.
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). Danville’s median household income is $97,083; among the 9,018 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($73K–$121K), it’s healthier than 70%, about where its income would put it.
Few Indiana towns score lower on these estimates than towns elsewhere, so within the state Danville is healthier than 93% of graded towns, against 76% nationally.
