On seven CDC estimates for adults, Eastlake is healthier than 37% of U.S. towns, #502 of 993 in Ohio. Fair or poor health holds the grade up (fewer adults who rate their health fair or poor than 53% of U.S. towns); diabetes pulls it down (better than 30%).

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). Eastlake’s median household income is $62,072; among the 9,432 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($47K–$78K), it’s healthier than 55%, about where its income would put it.

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