The figures are model-based estimates for the adults of an area. They are not measurements. They say nothing about one person.

We do not produce estimates for individuals; only aggregated results for counties, places, census tracts, or ZCTAs.
First, it is not adequate to simply compare point estimates. The confidence intervals should also be considered, and some are very broad.
