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 Valleyview door to door.

Close calls stay gray

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

CDC’s own town estimate

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

Neighbors talk health
