† Rates are age-adjusted to the 2000 U.S. standard population (19 age groups — Census P25–1130). See Table 2.1.1.2MF-2.27.1.2MF for 95% confidence intervals for rates. Rates are suppressed and not ranked if case counts are fewer than 16 or if the population of the specific category (area, sex) is less than 50,000.
