About these numbers

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

Why a ZIP codeCDC publishes towns like Scott by ZIP code. We weight the ZIP codes that cover Scott by how much of its land each one covers.
