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

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

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