Data Source:

Limitations: Most of the reported occurrences for each region are less than 20. Because rates based on numbers this size can create a false impression, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommend not calculating incidence rates for fewer than 20 occurrences. To ensure a better understanding of this information, the raw numbers for each region should be considered.
