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 Batavia door to door.

Close calls stay gray

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

CDC’s own town estimate

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

Neighbors talk health
