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). Leroy Township’s median household income is $114,250; among the 6,558 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($86K–$143K), it’s healthier than 9%, less than its income alone would suggest.

A rough placement. CDC’s likely ranges are wide here: with every estimate at one end or the other, Leroy Township could be anywhere from D to B+. The letter shows with “≈”. These are ZIP code figures (ZIP 44077,44057,44086,44024,44081), weighted by land area, which can reach past town lines.
