Details
This dataset provides demographic information for the Short Creek area (Hildale city, Utah, Colorado City town, Arizona, and Centenial Park, Arizona), with population data disaggregated by 15 age categories. This dataset matches the short_creek_matrix matrix.
This data uses real vaccination rates from publicly available school records, and population age structure and composition from the latest US census. Vaccination rates for the non-school-aged population were imputed based on assumptions and do not reflect the actual vaccination information for those age groups.
