Health Grade

What’s behind Vinland’s grade

On seven CDC estimates for adults, Vinland is healthier than 68% of U.S. towns. Physical distress holds the grade up (fewer adults with frequent physical distress than 81% of U.S. towns); obesity pulls it down (better than 28%).

U.S. towns with similar incomes, $68K–$114K (9,836)Healthier than 64%

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). Vinland’s median household income is $91,094; among the 9,836 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($68K–$114K), it’s healthier than 64%, 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, Vinland could be anywhere from C+ to A. The letter shows with “≈”. These are ZIP code figures (ZIP 54904,54956,54901), weighted by land area, which can reach past town lines.
