What’s behind Lisbon’s grade
On seven CDC estimates for adults, Lisbon is healthier than 8% of U.S. towns. Fair or poor health holds the grade up (fewer adults who rate their health fair or poor than 21% of U.S. towns); smoking pulls it down (better than 7%).
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). Lisbon’s median household income is $46,667; among the 4,535 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($35K–$58K), it’s healthier than 25%, so it sits below most towns with similar incomes, too.
