Notes

This is Healthy New Jersey 2020 objective CA-10.   Data for Whites, Blacks, and Asians/Pacific Islander include Hispanics and non-Hispanics. Race misclassification could result in an underestimate of Asian/Pacific Islander incidence and should be interpreted with caution. 2016 data are preliminary.
