*If wisdom teeth are removed because of tooth decay or gum disease, they should be included in the count for lost teeth.

PLEASE NOTE: Due to changes in the weighting methodology and other factors, results from 2024
are NOT comparable to 2010 and earlier years.

Regional demographic estimates have been suppressed because they do not meet statistical reliability standards.
