U.S. towns with similar incomes, $64K–$106K (10,396)Healthier than 92%

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). Londonderry’s median household income is $85,179; among the 10,396 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($64K–$106K), it’s healthier than 92%, about where its income would put it.

A fairly firm grade. With every estimate at the unfavorable or the favorable end of CDC’s likely range, Londonderry could be anywhere from B to A+. These are ZIP code figures (ZIP 05155,05148), weighted by land area, which can reach past town lines.
