Health Grade

What’s behind Clinton Township’s grade

On seven CDC estimates for adults, Clinton Township is healthier than 49% of U.S. towns, #386 of 993 in Ohio. Fair or poor health holds the grade up (fewer adults who rate their health fair or poor than 61% of U.S. towns); diabetes pulls it down (better than 37%).

U.S. towns with similar incomes, $52K–$87K (10,459)Healthier than 62%

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). Clinton Township’s median household income is $69,304; among the 10,459 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($52K–$87K), it’s healthier than 62%, about where its income would put it.

Where Clinton Township compares well: worried about having enough food, 12% (U.S. 15%); 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, Clinton Township could be anywhere from C− to A−. The letter shows with “≈”. Shared figures. CDC doesn’t publish an estimate for Clinton Township itself, so these are ZIP code 43567’s, which Clinton Township shares with Dover Township. The two towns get the same figures and the same grade, and the ZIP’s 9,981 adults include people outside Clinton Township.
