What’s behind Hansville’s grade
On seven CDC estimates for adults, Hansville is healthier than 83% of U.S. towns, #94 of 285 in Washington. No exercise holds the grade up (fewer adults who get no exercise than 95% of U.S. towns); diabetes pulls it down (better than 49%).
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). Hansville’s median household income is $92,426; among the 9,658 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($69K–$116K), it’s healthier than 85%, about where its income would put it.
Most Washington towns score higher on these estimates than towns elsewhere, so within the state Hansville is healthier than 67% of graded towns, against 83% nationally.
