Ratios based on less than 20 live births for women in particular age groups or marital status groups are not reported.

Suppressed Rate or Percent - A rate or a percent is suppressed when the numerator is less than 5, including 0, in a subgroup. This is done in order to try to protect the confidentiality of individuals. Suppressed rates/percents are also unstable rates/percents. These rates/percents are marked with a "**".
