Health Grade

What’s behind Conesus’ grade

On seven CDC estimates for adults, Conesus is healthier than 71% of U.S. towns. All seven estimates beat the typical U.S. town. The strongest is mental distress (fewer adults with frequent mental distress than 81% of towns); the weakest is physical distress, still better than 54%.

U.S. towns with similar incomes, $60K–$100K (10,734)Healthier than 79%

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). Conesus’ median household income is $80,341; among the 10,734 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($60K–$100K), it’s healthier than 79%, about where its income would put it.

A rough placement. CDC’s likely ranges are wide here: with every estimate at one end or the other, Conesus could be anywhere from C to A. The letter shows with “≈”. These are ZIP code figures (ZIP 14435), weighted by land area, which can reach past town lines.
