What’s behind Green Camp Township’s grade
On seven CDC estimates for adults, Green Camp Township is healthier than 15% of U.S. towns. Fair or poor health holds the grade up (fewer adults who rate their health fair or poor than 33% of U.S. towns); obesity pulls it down (better than 7%).

Green Camp Township’s median household income is $102,833; among the 8,151 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($77K–$129K), it’s healthier than 2%, so it sits below most towns with similar incomes, too.
