Health Grade

What’s behind Hartville’s grade

On seven CDC estimates for adults, Hartville is healthier than 51% of U.S. towns, #364 of 993 in Ohio. Fair or poor health holds the grade up (fewer adults who rate their health fair or poor than 60% of U.S. towns); obesity pulls it down (better 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). Hartville’s median household income is $69,648; among the 10,492 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($52K–$87K), it’s healthier than 64%, about where its income would put it.

A rough placement. CDC’s likely ranges are wide here: with every estimate at one end or the other, Hartville could be anywhere from C− to A−. The letter shows with “≈”.
