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 Lupton door to door.

Close calls stay gray

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

CDC’s own town estimate

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

Neighbors talk health
