These are comparisons, not rankings: CDC advises against ranking areas from modeled estimates, and colours carry no judgement of good or bad.

- These are modeled estimates, not counts of people. CDC PLACES builds them from a national telephone survey (BRFSS) and Census data, so every number carries a margin of uncertainty.
- Age-adjusted estimates remove the effect of age, which makes comparing areas fairer.
- Other-city comparisons use the largest other places in the same state (by Census population in the CDC file) and count how many differ clearly from this place. They are not a ranking and not an average.
- We call one estimate higher or lower than another only when their intervals do not overlap. We do not rank areas, combine measures into a score, or describe changes between data releases as trends. Colours carry no judgement of good or bad.
- These statistics describe communities. They do not show that any wellness service works for a condition, and a health condition in an area is not caused by the providers or the places named here.
