They're modeled estimatesCDC combines a large national health survey with each area's age, sex, race and income mix to estimate local rates. Nobody surveyed Trego door to door.

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

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