How so? You'd have to figure out the N in a population of hundreds of thousands (the state's prison population) without any other variables to go on.

It breaks down the N by location, which... what defines a location here? Is it a state? Is it a single prison? For a small N, narrow location is definitely a de-anonymization factor.

There's no mention of any narrow locations. The numbers are at the state level per the request in the article.
