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 Jaconita door to door.
Every figure has a likely range. When the New Mexico figure falls inside it, we don’t call Jaconita better or worse.
CDC publishes Jaconita directly, so these are its own figures.
