U.S. towns with similar incomes, $45K–$74K (8,767)Healthier than 71%

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). Boyceville’s median household income is $59,464; among the 8,767 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($45K–$74K), it’s healthier than 71%, more than its income alone would suggest.

A rough placement. CDC’s likely ranges are wide here: with every estimate at one end or the other, Boyceville could be anywhere from C− to A−. The letter shows with “≈”.
