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 Singac door to door.

Close calls stay gray

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

CDC’s own town estimate

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

Neighbors talk health
