Warren is healthier than 73% of U.S. towns, but 13% of the 2,490 towns with similar household incomes ($116K–$193K). Part of its edge is what towns with its incomes tend to have. Health Grade ↓

CDC PLACES 2025 release: modeled estimates for adults, not counts; “higher” and “lower” mean the Wisconsin figure falls outside Warren’s likely range; Warren’s figures come from ZIP codes 54023, 54017, 54015, which may reach past town lines; at the ends of CDC’s ranges the grade could be anywhere from C+ to A.

Health Grade

What’s behind Warren’s grade

On seven CDC estimates for adults, Warren is healthier than 73% of U.S. towns. Diabetes holds the grade up (fewer adults with diabetes than 89% of U.S. towns); obesity pulls it down (better than 41%).

U.S. towns with similar incomes, $116K–$193K (2,490)Healthier than 13%

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). Warren’s median household income is $154,423; among the 2,490 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($116K–$193K), it’s healthier than 13%, 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, Warren could be anywhere from C+ to A. The letter shows with “≈”. These are ZIP code figures (ZIP 54023,54017,54015), weighted by land area, which can reach past town lines.
