U.S. towns with similar incomes, $63K–$105K (10,462)Healthier than 20%

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). Maple Valley Township’s median household income is $84,219; among the 10,462 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($63K–$105K), it’s healthier than 20%, 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, Maple Valley Township could be anywhere from D to B+. The letter shows with “≈”. These are ZIP code figures (ZIP 49322,49347,49339,49329,49343), weighted by land area, which can reach past town lines.
