N.A. Data is not available.

Note: Birth Data for the city of Miami is not available for 2004 and 2005. The National Center for Health Statistics is investigating a possible data error that might have occurred. More information will be available soon.

N.A.   Data is not available.
S   Data estimate has been suppressed. Estimates from the American Community Survey (ACS) are suppressed when the total confidence interval (upper bound minus lower bound) of the percent estimate, is 10 percentage points or greater. Rates from Vital Statistics data are suppressed when based on fewer than 20 births or death.

Note: The District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Vigin Islands are not included in maps and rankings because they are not states and therefore comparisons on many indicators of child well being are not meaningful.
