Redan's numbers, in plain words
CDC PLACES model estimates put social isolation at 37.4% of adults in Redan, compared with 34.9% in the county, and 36.6% of adults say they do not always get the social and emotional support they need. The same estimates show 10.1% of adults with difficulty living independently. These are modeled figures for a whole community, and they say nothing about any one person or household.
Where more adults live alone or feel cut off, a problem inside a home can go unnoticed for longer before anyone finds it. When that happens, unattended death cleanup may be needed, and help sometimes reaches a home later than the household would have wanted.

For a home in Redan, biohazard cleanup covers crime scenes, deaths at home that went unnoticed, suicides, accidents, blood spills and hoarded homes.
