How CDC estimates town health

Modeled estimates

CDC combines a large national health survey with each area’s age, sex, race and income mix to estimate local rates. Nobody surveyed Argyle door to door.

Close calls stay gray

Every figure has a likely range. When the Georgia figure falls inside it, we don’t call Argyle better or worse.

CDC’s own town estimate

CDC publishes Argyle directly, so these are its own figures.
