Wealth in Rural Middle America sits just below the national average, with an average median income of $59,200. Access to healthy food in these communities is favorable, with a Food Environment Index of 8.1, above the national average of 7.8. Although this food is available, these communities still experience a high rate of adult obesity, 36% compared to 32% nationally. This could be due to lack of access to exercise opportunities, which only 57% of adults in these communities have. Despite these issues, healthcare seems accessible here, with only 8% of the population uninsured, 3 points lower than the national rate. These communities are also fairly safe, with a violent crime rate less than half the national average.
