Health Grade

What’s behind Clyde’s grade

On seven CDC estimates for adults, Clyde is healthier than 30% of U.S. towns, #577 of 993 in Ohio. Fair or poor health holds the grade up (fewer adults who rate their health fair or poor than 46% of U.S. towns); obesity pulls it down (better than 19%).

U.S. towns with similar incomes, $38K–$63K (5,994)Healthier than 65%

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). Clyde’s median household income is $50,574; among the 5,994 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($38K–$63K), it’s healthier than 65%, more than its income alone would suggest.

A rough placement. CDC’s likely ranges are wide here: with every estimate at one end or the other, Clyde could be anywhere from D to B+. The letter shows with “≈”.
