1 Asian race category reporting includes Pacific Islander from 1993–2002.

2 Native Hawaiian/Other Pacific Islander race first reported separately in 2003.

3 Indicates two or more races reported for a person. Category first reported in 2003. Does not include persons of Hispanic/Latino origin.

4 Persons of Hispanic ethnicity may be of any or multiple race.

5 The higher count for unknown or missing race results for 1993–2001 reflect the impact of the transitional period of incorporating new race definitions for Asian, Native Hawaiian, and multiple race in 2003.

Note: Rates for 1993–1999 have been updated using Resident Population: Monthly Postcensal Resident Population, by single year of age, sex, race, and Hispanic origin (http://www.census.gov/popest/data/national/asrh/1990s/nat_monthly_resident.html); accessed July 26, 2016. Denominators for computing 2000–2009 case rates were obtained from the Intercensal Estimates of the Resident Population by Sex, Race, and Hispanic Origin for the United States: April 1, 2000 to July 1, 2010 (http://www.census.gov/popest/data/intercensal/national/nat2010.html); accessed August 8, 2016. Denominators for computing 2010–2015 case rates were obtained from the Annual Estimates of the Resident Population by Sex, Race, and Hispanic Origin: April 1, 2010 to July 1, 2015 (http://www.census.gov/popest/data/national/asrh/2015/index.html); accessed July 22, 2016.

Case counts for race categories (American Indian or Alaska Native, Asian, black/African American, Native Hawaiian/Other Pacific Islander, and white) do not include persons of Hispanic ethnicity or multiple race.

Data for all years updated through June 9, 2016.
