Huron’s Health Grade: B−

On seven CDC health estimates for adults, Huron is healthier than 52% of U.S. towns and 66% of Michigan towns.

B-Self-rated healthB-Physical distressC-Mental distressB+ObesityBDiabetesC+SmokingBExercise

All U.S. towns we grade (19,420)Healthier than 52%

Less healthyHealthier

Michigan towns we grade (1,267)Healthier than 66%

Towns with similar incomes, $70K–$116K (8,897)Healthier than 37%

Wealth explains part of the grade. Huron is healthier than 52% 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, Huron could be anywhere from C to B+.

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 Michigan 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 Huron 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. Huron’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 Huron door to door.

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

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

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