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