Health Grade

What’s behind Twin Lakes’ grade

On seven CDC estimates for adults, Twin Lakes is healthier than 63% of U.S. towns, #191 of 357 in Wisconsin. Fair or poor health holds the grade up (fewer adults who rate their health fair or poor than 74% of U.S. towns); obesity pulls it down (better than 27%).

U.S. towns with similar incomes, $65K–$108K (10,295)Healthier than 61%

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). Twin Lakes’ median household income is $86,222; among the 10,295 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($65K–$108K), it’s healthier than 61%, 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, Twin Lakes could be anywhere from C to A. The letter shows with “≈”.
