What’s behind Hanover Township’s grade
On seven CDC estimates for adults, Hanover Township is healthier than 31% of U.S. towns, #569 of 993 in Ohio. Fair or poor health holds the grade up (fewer adults who rate their health fair or poor than 47% of U.S. towns); obesity pulls it down (better than 24%).
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). Hanover Township’s median household income is $79,911; among the 10,756 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($60K–$100K), it’s healthier than 23%, so it sits below most towns with similar incomes, too.
