On seven CDC estimates for adults, Chantilly is healthier than 92% of U.S. towns, #75 of 253 in Virginia. All seven estimates beat the typical U.S. town. The strongest is obesity (fewer adults with obesity than 98% of towns); the weakest is diabetes, still better than 67%.

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). Chantilly’s median household income is $157,124; among the 2,341 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($118K–$196K), it’s healthier than 55%, about where its income would put it.

Most Virginia towns score higher on these estimates than towns elsewhere, so within the state Chantilly is healthier than 71% of graded towns, against 92% nationally.

A fairly firm grade. With every estimate at the unfavorable or the favorable end of CDC’s likely range, Chantilly could be anywhere from A− to A+.
