How do you retain the ability to filter and anonymize a single data point result?

you remove the data entirely and lump it into "other". I guess states or entities with less than 5 occurrences should be categorized as other.

5 seems fairly arbitrary. If all 5 are almost the same then you are back in the same boat, no? If all data points for a given filter are substantially the same you still run into the same issue.
