Health Grade

What’s behind Patton Village’s grade

On seven CDC estimates for adults, Patton Village is healthier than 31% of U.S. towns. Obesity holds the grade up (fewer adults with obesity than 56% of U.S. towns); mental distress pulls it down (better than 11%).

Less healthyHealthier
U.S. towns with similar incomes, $58K–$97K (10,817)Healthier than 25%

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). Patton Village’s median household income is $77,669; among the 10,817 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($58K–$97K), it’s healthier than 25%, so it sits below most towns with similar incomes, too.

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