Methodology and limitations

These values describe populations, not individual people, and should not be used as personal medical assessments.

Release year versus survey year

The current PLACES county dataset is the 2025 release. Most included measures use 2023 BRFSS data; short sleep and four other biennial measures use 2022 data.

Model-based estimates

CDC uses multilevel regression and poststratification to estimate local prevalence. Values are modeled estimates with uncertainty, not exact counts.

Crude versus age-adjusted

Crude prevalence reflects the population as it exists. Age-adjusted estimates support fairer comparisons between places with different age structures.

Confidence intervals

The table and tooltips include 95% confidence limits. Small differences should not be treated as meaningful without considering uncertainty.

Self-reported inputs

Many PLACES measures are based on self-reported BRFSS responses and may be affected by recall and reporting bias.

Coverage notes

CDC did not publish 2023-based estimates for Kentucky and Pennsylvania in the 2025 release. Five measures based on 2022 data were carried forward for those states.
