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 Georgetown door to door.

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

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

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