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). Red Hill’s median household income is $64,697; among the 9,877 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($49K–$81K), it’s healthier than 84%, more than its income alone would suggest.
