What’s behind Logansport’s grade
On seven CDC estimates for adults, Logansport is healthier than 6% of U.S. towns, #560 of 589 in Indiana. Mental distress holds the grade up (fewer adults with frequent mental distress than 17% of U.S. towns); obesity pulls it down (near the bottom of U.S. towns).

Logansport’s median household income is $47,291; among the 4,757 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($35K–$59K), it’s healthier than 20%, so it sits below most towns with similar incomes, too.
