Written from the CDC, Medicare and HRSA data on this page. CDC PLACES 2025 release: modeled estimates for adults, not counts; “higher” and “lower” mean the Georgia figure falls outside Vienna’s likely range; at the ends of CDC’s ranges the grade could be anywhere from D− to C+.
What’s behind Vienna’s grade
On seven CDC estimates for adults, Vienna is healthier than 10% of U.S. towns, #197 of 261 in Georgia. Mental distress holds the grade up (fewer adults with frequent mental distress than 27% of U.S. towns); diabetes pulls it down (better than 3%).
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). Vienna’s median household income is $57,736; among the 8,231 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($43K–$72K), it’s healthier than 13%, so it sits below most towns with similar incomes, too.
Few Georgia towns score lower on these estimates than towns elsewhere, so within the state Vienna is healthier than 25% of graded towns, against 10% nationally.
Where Vienna compares well: cancer, other than skin cancer, 6.1% (U.S. 7.9%); binge drinking, 10.9% (U.S. 15.4%); taking blood pressure medicine (adults with high blood pressure), 80.5% (U.S. 76.5%).
