What’s behind Eagle Township’s grade
On seven CDC estimates for adults, Eagle Township is healthier than 16% of U.S. towns. Fair or poor health holds the grade up (fewer adults who rate their health fair or poor than 32% of U.S. towns); smoking pulls it down (better than 14%).
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). Eagle Township’s median household income is $90,365; among the 9,904 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($68K–$113K), it’s healthier than 4%, so it sits below most towns with similar incomes, too.
