Written from the CDC, Medicare and HRSA data on this page. CDC PLACES 2025 release: modeled estimates for adults, not counts; “higher” and “lower” mean the Ohio figure falls outside Logan’s likely range; at the ends of CDC’s ranges the grade could be anywhere from D− to C.
What’s behind Logan’s grade
On seven CDC estimates for adults, Logan is healthier than 10% of U.S. towns, #869 of 993 in Ohio. Obesity holds the grade up (fewer adults with obesity than 45% of U.S. towns); smoking pulls it down (better than 5%).
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). Logan’s median household income is $57,882; among the 8,294 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($43K–$72K), it’s healthier than 14%, so it sits below most towns with similar incomes, too.
