*    Rankings are based on unrounded numbers.  Therefore, identical rounded
     values may appear in the table, but ranks may differ.  However, in the
     case of a true tie, counties share the same rank and the next lower rank
     is omitted.

NA   Not applicable.

Note:  Percentage figures are calculated as proportions of the total population.
