U.S. towns with similar incomes, $54K–$90K (10,675)Healthier than 39%

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). Franklinville’s median household income is $72,115; among the 10,675 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($54K–$90K), it’s healthier than 39%, 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, Franklinville could be anywhere from D to B+. The letter shows with “≈”.
