*Cities were ranked in descending order by rate, number of cases, and alphabetically by state. City-specific STD incidence rates should be considered estimates since population data may be estimated from county census data, approximating city jurisdictions for many areas. See Appendix (Reporting of City-specific Surveillance Data).

†Excludes cities in outlying areas (San Juan, PR, with 1,133 cases and rate of 110.3).
