Notes
Hispanic origin can be of any race. If only one race was chosen, the mother is designated as that race "only", but may still be designated as also Hispanic.
Percentages represent the proportion of births by mother's age within each race/ethnicity group that are Medicaid except for the All Ages category which represents the proportion of that race/ethnicity that are Medicaid.
ND = DATA NOT DISPLAYED. Statistics (rates, ratios, percents) are not calculated and displayed for counts less than 10 (or less than 3 for Bayesian/Nearest Neighbor rates). This is due to the unreliability of statistics based on small numbers of events.
