Table 1.

Concordance between spatial patterns for high-risk areas based on WNV disease incidence versus WNV disease case counts for the county, zip code, and census tract scales, Colorado*

WNV disease incidence WNV disease case count
High risk Other % Concordance
County scale
High risk† 6 6 50

WNV = West Nile virus.

Spatial units with WNV disease case counts or WNV disease incidences falling within the fourth quartile for each spatial scale were considered high risk.

Spatial units either lacking cases and with incidence of 0, or falling within the first to third quartile.
