Caution: Racial categories have changed from prior years and now reflect single race categories & multi-race. Comparisons with prior reports are not advised.
NH=Non-Hispanic. Sum of deaths for racial/ethnic categories may not add up to Total Deaths due to missing, undetermined, or unclassifiable race information.
*Technical Note: Rates based on small numbers (fewer than 10 deaths) are unstable & should be interpreted with caution.
C.I.=95% Confidence interval. For areas/categories having >=20 deaths, Wald C.I.'s are presented. For areas/categories having < 20 deaths, inverse Gamma C.I.'s are presented.
