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

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

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