How CDC estimates town health

Close calls stay grayEvery figure has a margin of error. When the South Dakota figure falls inside it, we don't call Spring Creek better or worse.
Why a ZIP codeCDC publishes towns like Spring Creek by ZIP code. We weight the ZIP codes that cover Spring Creek by how much of its land each one covers.

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