What’s behind New Baltimore’s grade
On seven CDC estimates for adults, New Baltimore is healthier than 94% of U.S. towns, #66 of 253 in Virginia. All seven estimates beat the typical U.S. town. The strongest is no exercise (fewer adults who get no exercise than 96% of towns); the weakest is obesity, still better than 82%.
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). New Baltimore’s median household income is $189,327; among the 1,138 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($142K–$237K), it’s healthier than 43%, less than its income alone would suggest.
Most Virginia towns score higher on these estimates than towns elsewhere, so within the state New Baltimore is healthier than 74% of graded towns, against 94% nationally.
