Written from the CDC, Medicare and HRSA data on this page. CDC PLACES 2025 release: modeled estimates for adults, not counts; “higher” and “lower” mean the Wisconsin figure falls outside Concord’s likely range; Concord’s figures come from ZIP codes 53178, 53066, 53094, 53137, which may reach past town lines; at the ends of CDC’s ranges the grade could be anywhere from C+ to A.

Health Grade

What’s behind Concord’s grade

On seven CDC estimates for adults, Concord is healthier than 67% of U.S. towns. Mental distress holds the grade up (fewer adults with frequent mental distress than 85% of U.S. towns); obesity pulls it down (better than 28%).

A−Self-rated health16% · WI 17.8% · U.S. 19.4%

U.S. towns with similar incomes, $81K–$135K (7,457)Healthier than 43%

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). Concord’s median household income is $107,969; among the 7,457 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($81K–$135K), it’s healthier than 43%, less 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, Concord could be anywhere from C+ to A. The letter shows with “≈”. These are ZIP code figures (ZIP 53178,53066,53094,53137), weighted by land area, which can reach past town lines.
