On seven CDC estimates for adults, Marysville is healthier than 58% of U.S. towns, #281 of 701 in Michigan. Diabetes holds the grade up (fewer adults with diabetes than 63% of U.S. towns); mental distress pulls it down (better than 40%).

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). Marysville’s median household income is $66,901; among the 10,184 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($50K–$84K), it’s healthier than 77%, more than its income alone would suggest.

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