Limitations: CDC PLACES results are model-based small-area estimates, not direct census counts, direct county BRFSS observations or causal policy evaluations. Kentucky and Pennsylvania lack 2023 BRFSS-based estimates due to insufficient underlying state data collection; Loving County, TX has no published CDC record at all.
