Note. DCDC data are from 23 States: Arkansas, California, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Hawaii, Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, North Carolina, Nebraska, New Jersey, New York, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Washington, West Virginia, and Wyoming; totals are based on 51 States, with the exception of total number of investigated reports. Data from 25 "non-DCDC" States were available or estimated for investigated reports. All data are based on State submissions to the SDC.
