What’s behind Concord Township’s grade
On seven CDC estimates for adults, Concord 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 23% of U.S. towns); smoking pulls it down (better than 9%).

Concord Township’s median household income is $45,066; among the 4,024 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($34K–$56K), it’s healthier than 38%, so it sits below most towns with similar incomes, too.
