County estimates and 95% confidence intervals for estimates of Type 2 diabetes prevalence in 2008 for women aged 30 years and older by county. Note: Intervals are colored according to sample size, with green corresponding to counties with more than 900 observations in 2000-2008, yellow for counties with more than 100 observations, and red for counties with 100 or fewer observations per county-year. The solid black line indicates the national average for women, and the dashed lines represent a standard deviation from the national average for the validation set for women. The correlation is between the estimated diabetes prevalence and the US Department of Agriculture's Urban-Rural Continuum code for 2003 with categorical values ranging from 1 for most urban to 9 for most rural. See http://www.ers.usda.gov/briefing/rurality/ruralurbcon/ for exact definitions.
