U.S. towns with similar incomes, $55K–$91K (10,714)Healthier than 76%

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). Cleona’s median household income is $72,688; among the 10,714 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($55K–$91K), it’s healthier than 76%, 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, Cleona could be anywhere from C to A. The letter shows with “≈”.
