Statistically speaking, these estimates are not significantly different. 

When sampling from a population, estimates are calculated as having a confidence interval. This interval reflects the range of estimates that would generally occur if the sampling was repeated many, many times. If we could interview every single person in each county, the true population percentages would be found in each interval.
