What’s behind Tyrone’s grade
On seven CDC estimates for adults, Tyrone is healthier than 36% of U.S. towns. Obesity holds the grade up (fewer adults with obesity than 64% of U.S. towns); physical distress pulls it down (better than 21%).
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). Tyrone’s median household income is $72,083; among the 10,676 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($54K–$90K), it’s healthier than 38%, so it sits below most towns with similar incomes, too.
