What stands out about health in Crane Township
What’s behind Crane Township’s grade
On seven CDC estimates for adults, Crane Township is healthier than 24% of U.S. towns. Fair or poor health holds the grade up (fewer adults who rate their health fair or poor than 44% of U.S. towns); obesity pulls it down (better than 13%).
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). Crane Township’s median household income is $75,608; among the 10,839 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($57K–$95K), it’s healthier than 17%, so it sits below most towns with similar incomes, too.
