Data Discussion

Beginning in 2021, MDH began using new race/ethnicity groups that makes these daqta not comparahble to previous year. 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.
