What’s behind Sigel’s grade
On seven CDC estimates for adults, Sigel is healthier than 28% of U.S. towns. Diabetes holds the grade up (fewer adults with diabetes than 49% of U.S. towns); obesity pulls it down (better than 8%).
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). Sigel’s median household income is $82,292; among the 10,599 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($62K–$103K), it’s healthier than 16%, so it sits below most towns with similar incomes, too.
