Health Grade

What’s behind Springport’s grade

On seven CDC estimates for adults, Springport is healthier than 70% of U.S. towns. All seven estimates beat the typical U.S. town. The strongest is mental distress (fewer adults with frequent mental distress than 78% of towns); the weakest is physical distress, still better than 56%.

U.S. towns with similar incomes, $65K–$108K (10,311)Healthier than 71%

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). Springport’s median household income is $86,042; among the 10,311 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($65K–$108K), it’s healthier than 71%, 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, Springport could be anywhere from C to A. The letter shows with “≈”. These are ZIP code figures (ZIP 13034,13160,13021), weighted by land area, which can reach past town lines.
