Health Grade

What’s behind Morrison’s grade

On seven CDC estimates for adults, Morrison is healthier than 70% of U.S. towns. Diabetes holds the grade up (fewer adults with diabetes than 84% of U.S. towns); obesity pulls it down (better than 18%).

Less healthyHealthier
U.S. towns with similar incomes, $76K–$126K (8,487)Healthier than 55%

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). Morrison’s median household income is $100,682; among the 8,487 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($76K–$126K), it’s healthier than 55%, 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, Morrison could be anywhere from C+ to A. The letter shows with “≈”. These are ZIP code figures (ZIP 54126,54208,54115), weighted by land area, which can reach past town lines.
