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). Leavittsburg’s median household income is $54,167; among the 7,175 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($41K–$68K), it’s healthier than 8%, so it sits below most towns with similar incomes, too.

A fairly firm grade. With every estimate at the unfavorable or the favorable end of CDC’s likely range, Leavittsburg could be anywhere from D− to C−.
