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). Jolivue’s median household income is $38,214; among the 1,922 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($29K–$48K), it’s healthier than 93%, more than its income alone would suggest.
