On seven CDC estimates for adults, Bryant is healthier than 77% of U.S. towns, #133 of 285 in Washington. All seven estimates beat the typical U.S. town. The strongest is no exercise (fewer adults who get no exercise than 92% of towns); the weakest is mental distress, still better than 55%.

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). Bryant’s median household income is $121,669; among the 5,485 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($91K–$152K), it’s healthier than 46%, about where its income would put it.

Most Washington towns score higher on these estimates than towns elsewhere, so within the state Bryant is healthier than 54% of graded towns, against 77% nationally.

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