CDC combines a large national health survey with each area’s age, sex, race and income mix to estimate local rates. Nobody surveyed Cobbtown door to door.
Every figure has a likely range. When the Florida figure falls inside it, we don’t call Cobbtown better or worse.
CDC publishes Cobbtown directly, so these are its own figures.

Health estimates: CDC PLACES: Local Data for Better Health, 2025 release. CDC’s 2025 release leaves out 6 of its measures for Florida, so those come from the 2024 release (earlier survey years). The Florida figure combines its counties, weighted by adult population. Hospitals and star ratings: Medicare Care Compare (CMS). Health centers and shortage areas: HRSA. Ages: U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey. Town boundaries: U.S. Census Bureau. This page isn’t medical advice. In an emergency, call 911.
