**Footnotes**

\* Data are from the National Vital Statistics System (NVSS).

† Rates are age-adjusted to the 2000 U.S. standard population (19 age groups – Census P25–1130).

‡ Data for specified racial or ethnic populations other than white and black should be interpreted with caution. See Technical Notes.

§ Hispanic origin is not mutually exclusive from race categories (white, black, Asian/Pacific Islander, American Indian/Alaska Native).

\~ Rates are suppressed and not ranked if case counts are fewer than 16 or if the population of the specific category (race, ethnicity) is less than 50,000.

Confidence interval (CI): Range of values for a rate that will include the true value of the rate a given percentage of the time. Example: 95% CI includes the true value of the rate 95% of the time.
