### Geographic weighting

As the original data is a percentage and raw case counts are not available, `hrr` and `msa` values are computed from county-level data using a weighted mean. Each county is assigned a weight equal to its population in the last census (2020). Unreported counties are implicitly treated as having a weight of 0 or a value equal to the group mean.

This weighting approach assumes that the number of ED visits is proportional to the overall population of a county, i.e. the per-capita ED visit rate is the same for all counties, which may not be the case (for example, denser counties may have easier access to EDs and thus higher rates of ED visits per capita).
