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 Montello door to door.

Close calls stay gray

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

CDC’s own town estimate

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

Neighbors talk health

Doctors taking patients, urgent care, staying active in Montello.
