About these numbers

How CDC estimates town health

They're modeled estimatesCDC combines a large national health survey with each area's age, sex, race and income mix to estimate local rates. Nobody surveyed Lockhart door to door.

Close calls stay grayEvery figure has a margin of error. When the Alabama figure falls inside it, we don't call Lockhart better or worse.

CDC's own town estimateCDC publishes Lockhart directly, so these are its own figures.

CDC PLACES: Local Data for Better Health, 2025 release. The Alabama figure combines its counties, weighted by adult population.
