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). Bloomfield Township’s median household income is $48,397; among the 5,177 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($36K–$60K), it’s healthier than 24%, so it sits below most towns with similar incomes, too.

A fairly firm grade. With every estimate at the unfavorable or the favorable end of CDC’s likely range, Bloomfield Township could be anywhere from D− to C. These are ZIP code figures (ZIP 45640,45685), weighted by land area, which can reach past town lines.
