Health Grade

What’s behind Lyndon’s grade

On seven CDC estimates for adults, Lyndon is healthier than 62% of U.S. towns. Mental distress holds the grade up (fewer adults with frequent mental distress than 72% of U.S. towns); no exercise pulls it down (better than 39%).

U.S. towns with similar incomes, $70K–$116K (9,583)Healthier than 52%

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). Lyndon’s median household income is $93,000; among the 9,583 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($70K–$116K), it’s healthier than 52%, 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, Lyndon could be anywhere from C to A. The letter shows with “≈”. These are ZIP code figures (ZIP 53093,53073,53011), weighted by land area, which can reach past town lines.
