What stands out about health in Amelia
What’s behind Amelia’s grade
On seven CDC estimates for adults, Amelia is healthier than 54% of U.S. towns, #337 of 993 in Ohio. Fair or poor health holds the grade up (fewer adults who rate their health fair or poor than 68% of U.S. towns); mental distress pulls it down (better than 21%).

Amelia’s median household income is $70,938; among the 10,584 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($53K–$89K), it’s healthier than 66%, about where its income would put it.
