What’s behind New Haven Township’s grade
On seven CDC estimates for adults, New Haven Township is healthier than 26% of U.S. towns. Obesity holds the grade up (fewer adults with obesity than 55% of U.S. towns); no exercise pulls it down (better than 18%).

New Haven Township’s median household income is $69,609; among the 10,488 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($52K–$87K), it’s healthier than 27%, so it sits below most towns with similar incomes, too.
