What’s behind Iyanbito’s grade
On seven CDC estimates for adults, Iyanbito is healthier than 2% of U.S. towns. No exercise holds the grade up (fewer adults who get no exercise than 17% of U.S. towns); smoking pulls it down (near the bottom of U.S. towns).
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). Iyanbito’s median household income is $52,500; among the 6,642 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($39K–$66K), it’s healthier than 3%, so it sits below most towns with similar incomes, too.
