What’s behind Greenwich’s grade

On seven CDC estimates for adults, Greenwich is healthier than 29% of U.S. towns. Obesity holds the grade up (fewer adults with obesity than 62% of U.S. towns); smoking pulls it down (better than 16%).

Less healthyHealthier
U.S. towns with similar incomes, $51K–$85K (10,296)Healthier than 34%

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’s median household income is $67,734; among the 10,296 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($51K–$85K), it’s healthier than 34%, 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 could be anywhere from D to B+. The letter shows with “≈”.
