What’s behind Clinton Township’s grade
On seven CDC estimates for adults, Clinton Township is healthier than 11% of U.S. towns. Fair or poor health holds the grade up (fewer adults who rate their health fair or poor than 25% of U.S. towns); smoking pulls it down (better than 8%).

Clinton Township’s median household income is $46,776; among the 4,576 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($35K–$58K), it’s healthier than 35%, so it sits below most towns with similar incomes, too.
