Health Grade

What’s behind Greenwich Township’s grade

On seven CDC estimates for adults, Greenwich Township is healthier than 34% of U.S. towns. Obesity holds the grade up (fewer adults with obesity than 60% of U.S. towns); mental distress pulls it down (better than 17%).

B−Self-rated health19.9% · OH 19.4% · U.S. 19.4%
C+Physical distress14.9% · OH 13.9% · U.S. 13%

All U.S. towns we grade (21,250)Healthier than 34%
Less healthyHealthier
U.S. towns with similar incomes, $58K–$97K (10,805)Healthier than 29%

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). Greenwich Township’s median household income is $77,602; among the 10,805 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($58K–$97K), it’s healthier than 29%, so it sits below most towns with similar incomes, too.

A rough placement. CDC’s likely ranges are wide here: with every estimate at one end or the other, Greenwich Township could be anywhere from D to B. The letter shows with “≈”. These are ZIP code figures (ZIP 44837), weighted by land area, which can reach past town lines.
