What’s behind Lincolnia’s grade
On seven CDC estimates for adults, Lincolnia is healthier than 89% of U.S. towns, #83 of 253 in Virginia. All seven estimates beat the typical U.S. town. The strongest is mental distress (fewer adults with frequent mental distress than 93% of towns); the weakest is diabetes, still better than 70%.
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). Lincolnia’s median household income is $121,639; among the 5,504 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($91K–$152K), it’s healthier than 77%, about where its income would put it.
Most Virginia towns score higher on these estimates than towns elsewhere, so within the state Lincolnia is healthier than 67% of graded towns, against 89% nationally.
