Are the numbers on WTN the same as the numbers on the national CDC Tracking Network portal?
A. Specific core data and measurement values presented here may vary from those presented on the CDC EPHTN site. The primary reason for this is the decision by CDC to use US Census data for population counts, while WTN uses population counts prepared by the Washington State Office of Financial Management (OFM). For some counties where rapid growth has occurred, the Census and OFM population numbers are quite different, which affects the calculation of rates. Please also see the Data Notes section in each content area for information on specific indicators and measures.
