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 Dailey door to door.

Close calls stay gray

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

CDC’s own town estimate

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

Neighbors talk health

Doctors taking patients, urgent care, staying active in Dailey.
