On seven CDC estimates for adults, Vienna is healthier than 89% of U.S. towns. All seven estimates beat the typical U.S. town. The strongest is diabetes (fewer adults with diabetes than 94% of towns); the weakest is obesity, still better than 69%.

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 $139,583; among the 3,611 U.S. towns within 25% of that ($105K–$174K), it’s healthier than 59%, about where its income would put it.

A fairly firm grade. With every estimate at the unfavorable or the favorable end of CDC’s likely range, Vienna could be anywhere from B+ to A+. These are ZIP code figures (ZIP 53532,53597,53529,53911), weighted by land area, which can reach past town lines.
