Written from the CDC, Medicare and HRSA data on this page. CDC PLACES 2025 release: modeled estimates for adults, not counts; “higher” and “lower” mean the Ohio figure falls outside Cadiz’s likely range; at the ends of CDC’s ranges the grade could be anywhere from D− to C+.
What’s behind Cadiz’s grade
On seven CDC estimates for adults, Cadiz is healthier than 8% of U.S. towns, #905 of 993 in Ohio. Fair or poor health holds the grade up (fewer adults who rate their health fair or poor than 20% of U.S. towns); obesity pulls it down (better than 6%).
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). Cadiz’s median household income is $44,113; among the 3,716 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($33K–$55K), it’s healthier than 29%, so it sits below most towns with similar incomes, too.
