About these numbers

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

Why a ZIP codeCDC publishes towns like Denhoff by ZIP code. We weight the ZIP codes that cover Denhoff by how much of its land each one covers.

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