What’s behind Henrietta’s grade

On seven CDC estimates for adults, Henrietta is healthier than 87% of U.S. towns, #184 of 755 in New York. All seven estimates beat the typical U.S. town. The strongest is obesity (fewer adults with obesity than 90% of towns); the weakest is no exercise, still better than 67%.

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). Henrietta’s median household income is $85,943; among the 10,314 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($64K–$107K), it’s healthier than 94%, about where its income would put it.

A fairly firm grade. With every estimate at the unfavorable or the favorable end of CDC’s likely range, Henrietta could be anywhere from B+ to A+. These are ZIP code figures (ZIP 14623,14586,14467,14534,14543), weighted by land area, which can reach past town lines.
