Health Grade

What’s behind Gloverville’s grade

On seven CDC estimates for adults, Gloverville is healthier than 32% of U.S. towns, #85 of 169 in South Carolina. Obesity holds the grade up (fewer adults with obesity than 58% of U.S. towns); no exercise pulls it down (better than 29%).

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). Gloverville’s median household income is $52,197; among the 6,528 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($39K–$65K), it’s healthier than 64%, more than its income alone would suggest.

Few South Carolina towns score lower on these estimates than towns elsewhere, so within the state Gloverville is healthier than 50% of graded towns, against 32% nationally.

A rough placement. CDC’s likely ranges are wide here: with every estimate at one end or the other, Gloverville could be anywhere from D to B. The letter shows with “≈”.
