Health Grade

What’s behind Morgan Township’s grade

On seven CDC estimates for adults, Morgan Township is healthier than 21% of U.S. towns. Fair or poor health holds the grade up (fewer adults who rate their health fair or poor than 42% of U.S. towns); obesity pulls it down (better than 6%).

U.S. towns with similar incomes, $59K–$98K (10,826)Healthier than 12%

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). Morgan Township’s median household income is $78,289; among the 10,826 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($59K–$98K), it’s healthier than 12%, 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, Morgan Township could be anywhere from D to B−. The letter shows with “≈”. These are ZIP code figures (ZIP 44084,44047), weighted by land area, which can reach past town lines.
