Note: Population data (used as the denominator in incidence rate calculations) for 1993–2019 are accessible at https://data.census.gov/mdat/#/; accessed June 17, 2020. Before 2019, population data for 1993 was obtained from Quarterly Estimates of the United States Foreign-Born and Native Resident Populations: April 1, 1990–July 1, 1999, and data for 1994–2018 were obtained from the U.S. Census Bureau, Current Population Survey via DataFerrett for 1994–2018; both sites have since been disabled by the U.S. Census Bureau.
