Health Grade

What’s behind Hahnville’s grade

On seven CDC estimates for adults, Hahnville is healthier than 8% of U.S. towns, #81 of 161 in Louisiana. Physical distress holds the grade up (fewer adults with frequent physical distress than 18% of U.S. towns); diabetes pulls it down (better than 6%).

U.S. towns with similar incomes, $76K–$126K (8,449)Near the bottom

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). Hahnville’s median household income is $100,956; among the 8,449 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($76K–$126K), it’s healthier than 0%, so it sits below most towns with similar incomes, too.

A fairly firm grade. With every estimate at the unfavorable or the favorable end of CDC’s likely range, Hahnville could be anywhere from D− to C+.
