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 Centerville door to door.

Close calls stay grayEvery figure has a margin of error. When the Iowa figure falls inside it, we don't call Centerville better or worse.

CDC's own town estimateCDC publishes Centerville directly, so these are its own figures.

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