Health Grade

What’s behind Renovo’s grade

On seven CDC estimates for adults, Renovo is healthier than 13% of U.S. towns. Obesity holds the grade up (fewer adults with obesity than 40% of U.S. towns); smoking pulls it down (better than 2%).

C−Self-rated health24.9% · PA 18.7% · U.S. 19.4%

U.S. towns with similar incomes, $21K–$35K (385)Healthier than 80%

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). Renovo’s median household income is $27,716; among the 385 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($21K–$35K), it’s healthier than 80%, more than its income alone would suggest.

A fairly firm grade. With every estimate at the unfavorable or the favorable end of CDC’s likely range, Renovo could be anywhere from D− to C+.
