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). Windsor Township’s median household income is $99,023; among the 8,739 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($74K–$124K), it’s healthier than 43%, less than its income alone would suggest.

A rough placement. CDC’s likely ranges are wide here: with every estimate at one end or the other, Windsor Township could be anywhere from C to A−. The letter shows with “≈”. These are ZIP code figures (ZIP 19526,19534), weighted by land area, which can reach past town lines.
