U.S. towns with similar incomes, $72K–$119K (9,221)Healthier than 62%

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). Minoa’s median household income is $95,506; among the 9,221 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($72K–$119K), it’s healthier than 62%, about where its income would put it.

Most New York towns score higher on these estimates than towns elsewhere, so within the state Minoa is healthier than 52% of graded towns, against 70% nationally.

A rough placement. CDC’s likely ranges are wide here: with every estimate at one end or the other, Minoa could be anywhere from C to A. The letter shows with “≈”.
