How CDC estimates town health
CDC combines a large national health survey with each area’s age, sex, race and income mix to estimate local rates. Nobody surveyed Posey door to door.
Every figure has a likely range. When the California figure falls inside it, we don’t call Posey better or worse.
CDC publishes towns like Posey by ZIP code. We weight the ZIP codes that cover Posey by how much of its land each one covers.
