What’s behind Stanfield’s grade

U.S. towns with similar incomes, $45K–$75K (8,934)Healthier than 34%

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). Stanfield’s median household income is $60,074; among the 8,934 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($45K–$75K), it’s healthier than 34%, 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, Stanfield could be anywhere from D to B. The letter shows with “≈”.
