Health Grade

What’s behind Clyde’s grade

On seven CDC estimates for adults, Clyde is healthier than 25% of U.S. towns. Diabetes holds the grade up (fewer adults with diabetes than 56% of U.S. towns); physical distress pulls it down (better than 22%).

All U.S. towns we grade (21,250)Healthier than 25%

U.S. towns with similar incomes, $47K–$78K (9,499)Healthier than 34%

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). Clyde’s median household income is $62,407; among the 9,499 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($47K–$78K), it’s healthier than 34%, 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, Clyde could be anywhere from D to B+. The letter shows with “≈”.
