What’s behind Lone Grove’s grade

On seven CDC estimates for adults, Lone Grove is healthier than 33% of U.S. towns, #32 of 131 in Oklahoma. Fair or poor health holds the grade up (fewer adults who rate their health fair or poor than 48% of U.S. towns); no exercise pulls it down (better than 18%).

U.S. towns with similar incomes, $56K–$93K (10,848)Healthier than 31%

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). Lone Grove’s median household income is $74,265; among the 10,848 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($56K–$93K), it’s healthier than 31%, 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, Lone Grove could be anywhere from D to B+. The letter shows with “≈”.
