Data Source

Child population estimates for rate calculations derive from the U.S. Census Bureau, Population Division, Annual Population Estimates.

Notes

The numerator of the rate calculation reflects the aggregation of asthma hospitalizations over a 5-year time period. The denominator of the rate calculation reflects the child population estimate for the midpoint year of the given time frame.
