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 Troy door to door.
Every figure has a likely range. When the Maine figure falls inside it, we don’t call Troy better or worse.
CDC publishes towns like Troy by ZIP code. We weight the ZIP codes that cover Troy by how much of its land each one covers.
