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). Liberty Township’s median household income is $186,707; among the 1,208 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($140K–$233K), it’s healthier than 36%, less than its income alone would suggest.

A fairly firm grade. With every estimate at the unfavorable or the favorable end of CDC’s likely range, Liberty Township could be anywhere from A− to A+. These are ZIP code figures (ZIP 43065,43015), weighted by land area, which can reach past town lines.
