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). Bazetta Township’s median household income is $80,899; among the 10,713 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($61K–$101K), it’s healthier than 31%, so it sits below most towns with similar incomes, too.

Where Bazetta Township compares well: taking blood pressure medicine (adults with high blood pressure), 82.3% (U.S. 76.5%); worried about keeping housing, 9.5% (U.S. 12%); lack reliable transportation, 6.7% (U.S. 7.9%).

A rough placement. CDC’s likely ranges are wide here: with every estimate at one end or the other, Bazetta Township could be anywhere from D to B+. The letter shows with “≈”. These are ZIP code figures (ZIP 44410,44481,44483), weighted by land area, which can reach past town lines.
