Greenville Township’s median household income is $51,551; among the 6,320 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($39K–$64K), it’s healthier than 30%, so it sits below most towns with similar incomes, too.

Where Greenville Township compares well: taking blood pressure medicine (adults with high blood pressure), 82.4% (U.S. 76.5%).

A fairly firm grade. With every estimate at the unfavorable or the favorable end of CDC’s likely range, Greenville Township could be anywhere from D− to C+. These are ZIP code figures (ZIP 45331), weighted by land area, which can reach past town lines.
