Health Grade

What’s behind Madison Township’s grade

On seven CDC estimates for adults, Madison Township is healthier than 21% of U.S. towns, #703 of 993 in Ohio. Fair or poor health holds the grade up (fewer adults who rate their health fair or poor than 37% of U.S. towns); obesity pulls it down (better than 15%).

U.S. towns with similar incomes, $62K–$103K (10,596)Healthier than 9%

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). Madison Township’s median household income is $82,216; among the 10,596 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($62K–$103K), it’s healthier than 9%, 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, Madison Township could be anywhere from D to B−. The letter shows with “≈”. These are ZIP code figures (ZIP 45042,45067,45327), weighted by land area, which can reach past town lines.
