What’s behind Roselawn’s grade

On seven CDC estimates for adults, Roselawn is healthier than 25% of U.S. towns, #360 of 589 in Indiana. No exercise holds the grade up (fewer adults who get no exercise than 41% of U.S. towns); obesity pulls it down (better than 10%).

U.S. towns with similar incomes, $57K–$94K (10,830)Healthier than 19%

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). Roselawn’s median household income is $75,506; among the 10,830 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($57K–$94K), it’s healthier than 19%, so it sits below most towns with similar incomes, too.

A rough placement. CDC’s likely ranges are wide here: with every estimate at one end or the other, Roselawn could be anywhere from D to B. The letter shows with “≈”.
