MDPH calculates rates per 100,000 population using denominators estimated by the University of Massachusetts Donahue Institute using a modified Hamilton-Perry model (Strate S,
et al. Small Area Population Estimates for 2011 through 2020, report, Oct 2016.) Please note: Data for these tables are based on information available in the MDPH surveillance
database at a single point in time. Case counts for specific cities and towns change throughout the day as data cleaning occurs (removal of duplicate reports within the system) and
new demographic information (assigning cases to their city or town of residence) is obtained. Testing rates are calculated from the number of tests conducted in the geographic area
divided by the population denominator (the number of people living in that geographic area). Rates are used to compare data between geographic areas that have different population
sizes.
