*New York City has been reporting chlamydia cases since 1984. The State of New York, with the exception of New York City, initiated chlamydia reporting during the year 2000. Therefore, the number of chlamydia cases reported in 2000 by the cities of Buffalo, Rochester and Yonkers may be incomplete and their 2000 case rates may be underestimated. See Appendix (Chlamydia Morbidity Reporting and Reporting of City-specific Surveillance Data).

Rates exclude population of cities that did not report.

NR=No report
