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 Rolling’s likely range; Rolling’s figures come from ZIP codes 54409, 54408, which may reach past town lines; at the ends of CDC’s ranges the grade could be anywhere from D to B.

Health Grade

What’s behind Rolling’s grade

On seven CDC estimates for adults, Rolling is healthier than 27% of U.S. towns. Mental distress holds the grade up (fewer adults with frequent mental distress than 58% of U.S. towns); no exercise pulls it down (better than 12%).

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). Rolling’s median household income is $95,239; among the 9,261 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($71K–$119K), it’s healthier than 9%, 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, Rolling could be anywhere from D to B. The letter shows with “≈”. These are ZIP code figures (ZIP 54409,54408), weighted by land area, which can reach past town lines.
