Health Grade

What’s behind Lewisburg’s grade

On seven CDC estimates for adults, Lewisburg is healthier than 33% of U.S. towns. Fair or poor health holds the grade up (fewer adults who rate their health fair or poor than 54% of U.S. towns); mental distress pulls it down (better than 21%).

Less healthyHealthier
U.S. towns with similar incomes, $57K–$94K (10,843)Healthier than 30%

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). Lewisburg’s median household income is $75,379; among the 10,843 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($57K–$94K), it’s healthier than 30%, 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, Lewisburg could be anywhere from D to B+. The letter shows with “≈”.
