Notes
"LNE" indicates that the number of low birthweight births in the specified racial/ethnic group is 1-9 or the percentage is based on a count of 1-9 and is not publicly available to prevent the potential identification of individuals. "NA" means the data is not available because the county had zero total births (this applies to King and Loving counties).
