Smoking rates for each Census Tract in Allegheny County were produced for the study “Developing small-area predictions for smoking and obesity prevalence in the United States.” The data is not explicitly based on population surveys or data collection conducted in Allegheny County, but rather estimated using statistical modeling techniques. In this technique, researchers applied the obesity rate of a demographically similar Census Tract to one in Allegheny County to compute a smoking rate.
This technique is similar to those used in the 500 Cities project. The 500 Cities project is a collaboration between Centers for Disease Control, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, and the CDC Foundation.
