Close calls stay grayEvery figure has a margin of error. When the California figure falls inside it, we don't call La Grange better or worse.
CDC's own town estimateCDC publishes La Grange directly, so these are its own figures.

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