Crude prevalence is the estimated share of all adults. Age-adjusted prevalence uses the 2000 US standard population, so that areas with different ages can be compared. CDC: Age-adjusted estimates are only available at the county and place-level.

"Higher" or "lower": the two 95% confidence intervals do not overlap. "Similar": they overlap. Against the state figure, which has no interval, the words are "above", "below" and "in line".
