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 Day door to door.
Every figure has a likely range. When the New York figure falls inside it, we don’t call Day better or worse.
CDC publishes towns like Day by ZIP code. We weight the ZIP codes that cover Day by how much of its land each one covers.
