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.

"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".
