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). Tipp City’s median household income is $78,098; among the 10,819 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($59K–$98K), it’s healthier than 80%, about where its income would put it.

A rough placement. CDC’s likely ranges are wide here: with every estimate at one end or the other, Tipp City could be anywhere from C to A. The letter shows with “≈”.
