Health Grade

What’s behind Groveport’s grade

On seven CDC estimates for adults, Groveport is healthier than 55% of U.S. towns, #324 of 993 in Ohio. Obesity holds the grade up (fewer adults with obesity than 70% of U.S. towns); diabetes pulls it down (better than 39%).

U.S. towns with similar incomes, $70K–$117K (9,509)Healthier than 41%

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). Groveport’s median household income is $93,586; among the 9,509 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($70K–$117K), it’s healthier than 41%, 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, Groveport could be anywhere from C to A−. The letter shows with “≈”.
