Health Grade

What’s behind Conquest’s grade

On seven CDC estimates for adults, Conquest is healthier than 23% of U.S. towns. Diabetes holds the grade up (fewer adults with diabetes than 42% of U.S. towns); physical distress pulls it down (better than 16%).

U.S. towns with similar incomes, $61K–$102K (10,658)Healthier than 12%

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). Conquest’s median household income is $81,620; among the 10,658 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($61K–$102K), it’s healthier than 12%, 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, Conquest could be anywhere from D to B. The letter shows with “≈”. These are ZIP code figures (ZIP 13140,13033,13166,13143), weighted by land area, which can reach past town lines.
