Notes
LNE (Low Number Event) - Numbers are not reported when there were more than zero and fewer than five events during the reporting period. Prior to 2015, rates based on fewer than 20 events are not reported.
Note that "Total" data includes all racial and ethnic categories and thus may be larger than the sum of the two racial categories presented here. Data for other racial and ethnic groups were not reported due to the small number of events in most parishes.
