Compromise’s Health Grade: B

On seven CDC health estimates for adults, Compromise is healthier than 60% of U.S. towns and 53% of Illinois towns.

BSelf-rated healthB-Physical distressBMental distressB+ObesityBDiabetesB-SmokingB+Exercise

All U.S. towns we grade (19,420)Healthier than 60%

Less healthyHealthier

Illinois towns we grade (1,344)Healthier than 53%

Towns with similar incomes, $72K–$120K (8,436)Healthier than 45%

Wealth explains part of the grade. Compromise is healthier than 60% of U.S. towns overall, but against towns with similar incomes its edge is smaller.

These are estimates. At the ends of CDC’s likely ranges, Compromise could be anywhere from C− to A.

How the Health Grade works

Seven CDC estimates. Adults in fair or poor health, frequent physical distress, frequent mental distress, obesity, diabetes, smoking and no exercise (CDC PLACES, 2025 release). On each one a town earns the share of U.S. towns doing worse, and those shares are averaged. It’s the same score as our Healthiest towns in Illinois ranking.
Graded on a national curve. Every U.S. town with 1,000+ residents and all seven estimates (19,420 places) is lined up by score: A+ top 5%A next 10%A- next 10%B B+ to B−, next 30%C C+ to C−, next 30%D D and D−, bottom 15%
Not adjusted for income. Wealthier towns are usually healthier, and the grade shows that as it is. The similar-incomes bar compares Compromise with U.S. towns whose median household income is within 25% of its own.
Modeled, not measured. CDC combines national survey answers with each area’s age, sex, race and income mix. Compromise’s figures come from the ZIP codes that cover it, weighted by land area. High blood pressure is left out because it tracks age more than anything else. The confidence line recomputes the grade with every estimate at the low, then the high, end of its range.

About these numbers

How CDC estimates town health

They're modeled estimatesCDC combines a large national health survey with each area's age, sex, race and income mix to estimate local rates. Nobody surveyed Compromise door to door.

Close calls stay grayEvery figure has a margin of error. When the Illinois figure falls inside it, we don't call Compromise better or worse.

Why a ZIP codeCDC publishes towns like Compromise by ZIP code. We weight the ZIP codes that cover Compromise by how much of its land each one covers.

CDC PLACES: Local Data for Better Health, 2025 release. The Illinois figure combines its counties, weighted by adult population.
