What stands out about health in Lodi

Lodi is older than Wisconsin, yet healthier on chronic conditions

Lodi runs below Wisconsin on five chronic conditions, most of all COPD (5.1% vs 6.5%), diabetes (9.2% vs 11.4%) and obesity (30.7% vs 37.7%). That’s despite an older population: 27% of residents are 65 or older (Wisconsin 19%). Conditions ↓

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 Lodi’s likely range; at the ends of CDC’s ranges the grade could be anywhere from B+ to A+.

Health Grade

What’s behind Lodi’s grade

On seven CDC estimates for adults, Lodi is healthier than 90% of U.S. towns, #25 of 357 in Wisconsin. All seven estimates beat the typical U.S. town. The strongest is fair or poor health (fewer adults who rate their health fair or poor than 94% of towns); the weakest is no exercise, still better than 78%.

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). Lodi’s median household income is $117,584; among the 6,090 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($88K–$147K), it’s healthier than 83%, about where its income would put it.

A fairly firm grade. With every estimate at the unfavorable or the favorable end of CDC’s likely range, Lodi could be anywhere from B+ to A+.
