How CDC estimates town health

Close calls stay grayEvery figure has a margin of error. When the Pennsylvania figure falls inside it, we don't call Schellsburg better or worse.
CDC's own town estimateCDC publishes Schellsburg directly, so these are its own figures.

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

Health estimates: CDC PLACES. Hospitals and star ratings: Medicare Care Compare (CMS). Health centers and shortage areas: HRSA. Town boundaries: U.S. Census Bureau.
