On seven CDC estimates for adults, Ohio Township is healthier than 33% of U.S. towns, #542 of 993 in Ohio State. Obesity holds the grade up (fewer adults with obesity than 50% of U.S. towns); smoking pulls it down (better than 19%).

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). Ohio Township’s median household income is $73,289; among the 10,770 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($55K–$92K), it’s healthier than 33%, 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, Ohio Township could be anywhere from D to B+. The letter shows with “≈”. These are ZIP code figures (ZIP 45157,45102), weighted by land area, which can reach past town lines.
