  1. Fisher’s Exact test compares high and low categories of the variable of interest to CWSs whose average arsenic was above or below the revised MCL. The threshold for the variable of interest is determined by median value across all CWS, and includes related odds ratio. Test compares demographics for community water systems whose average arsenic was above or below the revised MCL.
