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). Henrietta Township’s median household income is $81,339; among the 10,691 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($61K–$102K), it’s healthier than 37%, 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, Henrietta Township could be anywhere from D to A−. The letter shows with “≈”. These are ZIP code figures (ZIP 49259,49201,49272,49285), weighted by land area, which can reach past town lines.
