County Groupings for 2005 & 2007 Data:
The California Health Interview Survey produced county-level results for 41 counties, and area-level results for the remaining 17 counties with smaller populations, which were analyzed collectively in groupings of 3 to 7 counties. These county groupings included: Group 1: Del Norte, Siskiyou, Lassen, Trinity, Modoc, Plumas, Sierra; Group 2: Tehama, Glenn, Colusa; and Group 3: Tuolumne, Calaveras, Amador, Inyo, Mariposa, Mono, Alpine. Although the percentages are listed for each individual county, those percentages for the 17 counties in area-level groupings reflect the outcomes for the entire area rather than for the single county.
