CDC combines a large national health survey with each area’s age, sex, race and income mix to estimate local rates. Nobody surveyed Brewerton door to door.
Every figure has a likely range. When the New York figure falls inside it, we don’t call Brewerton better or worse.
CDC publishes Brewerton directly, so these are its own figures.
