Note
1) Denominators for computing incidence rates for year 1993 were obtained from Quarterly Estimates of the United States Foreign-Born and Native Resident Populations: April 1, 1990–July 1, 1999;
2) Denominators for computing the 1994–2018 rates are based on the U.S. Census Bureau, Current Population Survey via Data Ferrett for 1994–2018. This site has since been disabled by the U.S. Census Bureau. Current Population Survey estimates do not include institutionalized populations; and
