Health Grade

What’s behind Marshall’s grade

On seven CDC estimates for adults, Marshall is healthier than 72% of U.S. towns. All seven estimates beat the typical U.S. town. The strongest is fair or poor health (fewer adults who rate their health fair or poor than 79% of towns); the weakest is no exercise, still better than 57%.

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). Marshall’s median household income is $101,250; among the 8,402 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($76K–$127K), it’s healthier than 58%, 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, Marshall could be anywhere from C+ to A. The letter shows with “≈”. These are ZIP code figures (ZIP 13480,13328,13323,13425), weighted by land area, which can reach past town lines.
