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 Weaver door to door.
Close calls stay grayEvery figure has a margin of error. When the Alabama figure falls inside it, we don't call Weaver better or worse.
CDC's own town estimateCDC publishes Weaver 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.

Health estimates: CDC PLACES. Hospitals and star ratings: Medicare Care Compare (CMS). Health centers and shortage areas: HRSA. Town boundaries: U.S. Census Bureau.
