What’s behind New Carlisle’s grade
On seven CDC estimates for adults, New Carlisle is healthier than 12% of U.S. towns, #814 of 993 in Ohio. Fair or poor health holds the grade up (fewer adults who rate their health fair or poor than 26% of U.S. towns); no exercise pulls it down (better than 10%).
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). New Carlisle’s median household income is $64,443; among the 9,814 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($48K–$81K), it’s healthier than 12%, so it sits below most towns with similar incomes, too.
