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). Bevent’s median household income is $92,417; among the 9,661 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($69K–$116K), it’s healthier than 48%, about where its income would put it.

A rough placement. CDC’s likely ranges are wide here: with every estimate at one end or the other, Bevent could be anywhere from C to A−. The letter shows with “≈”. These are ZIP code figures (ZIP 54440,54473), weighted by land area, which can reach past town lines.
