Written from the CDC, Medicare and HRSA data on this page. CDC PLACES 2025 release: modeled estimates for adults, not counts; “higher” and “lower” mean the Indiana figure falls outside Lagrange’s likely range; at the ends of CDC’s ranges the grade could be anywhere from D− to B−.
What’s behind Lagrange’s grade
On seven CDC estimates for adults, Lagrange is healthier than 11% of U.S. towns, #519 of 589 in Indiana. Mental distress holds the grade up (fewer adults with frequent mental distress than 22% of U.S. towns); physical distress pulls it down (better than 13%).
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). Lagrange’s median household income is $54,492; among the 7,263 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($41K–$68K), it’s healthier than 21%, so it sits below most towns with similar incomes, too.

On the 32 measures below that have a better and a worse direction, Lagrange is better than Indiana on 0 and worse on 10; on the rest, the Indiana figure falls inside Lagrange’s likely range, so we call them about the same. Disability and SNAP are described, not compared as better or worse.
