Data Discussion

Beginning in 2021, MDH began using new race/ethnicity groups that makes these data not comparable to previous years. As a result, the prior disaggregated indicators have been added to the archived scorecard and new indicators were created with the new race/ethnicity subgroups. 

Unless otherwise specified, any missing data is either because there are no individuals who identify with the race/ethnicity or the data is suppressed to protect privacy. The race/ethnicity groups included in the indicator are as written in the original data source. 2000-2009 has the following note: Race and Hispanic origin are reported separately on the birth certificate. Data for persons of Hispanic origin are included in the data for each race group according to the mother’s reported race.
