Data Confidentiality
Areas with count values 1 to 4 and where population is less than 50 have been suppressed.
Prior moving averages combine a sequence of 3 or 5 years of data prior to, and including, the selected year. The series are presented as overlapping sequences until the most recent year is included. Moving averages make it possible to combine more years of data to maximize sample size at each point while maintaining data confidentiality.
Notes
