How CDC estimates town health
CDC combines a large national health survey with each area’s age, sex, race and income mix to estimate local rates. Nobody surveyed Vantage door to door.
Every figure has a likely range. When the Washington figure falls inside it, we don’t call Vantage better or worse.
CDC publishes towns like Vantage by ZIP code. We weight the ZIP codes that cover Vantage by how much of its land each one covers.
