Footnotes: Low Number Event (LNE) indicates unreliable rates and ratios, those with denominators less than 100.

Note: Maps use the natural break classification method, which reflects patterns in the data by dividing the map into naturally occurring groups. Using statistical tools, this method determines cut-off points for each group by identifying large gaps in data values.
