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). Antis Township’s median household income is $71,889; among the 10,666 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($54K–$90K), it’s healthier than 45%, 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, Antis Township could be anywhere from D to B+. The letter shows with “≈”. These are ZIP code figures (ZIP 16686,16601), weighted by land area, which can reach past town lines.
