About these numbers

How CDC estimates town health

They're modeled estimatesCDC combines a large national health survey with each area's age, sex, race and income mix to estimate local rates. Nobody surveyed Orient door to door.

Close calls stay grayEvery figure has a margin of error. When the Ohio figure falls inside it, we don't call Orient better or worse.

CDC's own town estimateCDC publishes Orient directly, so these are its own figures.

CDC PLACES: Local Data for Better Health, 2025 release. The Ohio figure combines its counties, weighted by adult population.
