This rule only applies to visually discernable populations, such as racial, age, or gender groups. For more information on data suppression, please see DSHS' Data Release Policy.

Rates - Population denominators used to calculate rates of new diagnoses are provided by the US Census Bureau, Population Estimates and Projections Program and are current as of October 31, 2022.
