Health Grade

What’s behind Stiles’ grade

On seven CDC estimates for adults, Stiles is healthier than 38% of U.S. towns. Mental distress holds the grade up (fewer adults with frequent mental distress than 56% of U.S. towns); obesity pulls it down (better than 8%).

Less healthyHealthier
U.S. towns with similar incomes, $61K–$102K (10,691)Healthier than 30%

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). Stiles’ median household income is $81,339; among the 10,691 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($61K–$102K), it’s healthier than 30%, so it sits below most towns with similar incomes, too.

A rough placement. CDC’s likely ranges are wide here: with every estimate at one end or the other, Stiles could be anywhere from D to B+. The letter shows with “≈”. These are ZIP code figures (ZIP 54139,54154,54153), weighted by land area, which can reach past town lines.
