What’s behind Ixonia’s grade

On seven CDC estimates for adults, Ixonia is healthier than 69% of U.S. towns, #144 of 357 in Wisconsin. Diabetes holds the grade up (fewer adults with diabetes than 83% of U.S. towns); obesity pulls it down (better than 21%).

U.S. towns with similar incomes, $67K–$112K (10,005)Healthier than 67%

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). Ixonia’s median household income is $89,427; among the 10,005 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($67K–$112K), it’s healthier than 67%, 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, Ixonia could be anywhere from C+ to A. The letter shows with “≈”. These are ZIP code figures (ZIP 53036,53094,53066), weighted by land area, which can reach past town lines.
