*Note that many counts/rates are statistically unstable and may fluctuate widely across time periods due to random variation (chance), especially when there is a small number of health events in a small population. Example in 2007: in De Baca County there was one death, but in a population of 317, this created a rate of 316/100,000.

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.
