Race or Ethnicity

The ethnic or racial association identified by cases reporting in 2005 is shown in Figure 6. The 2005 distribution was in keeping with the ten year trend and shows a broad involvement of ethnic groups. While the largest number of our cases (61/166, 36%) identify themselves as being of Hispanic Origin, they are closely followed by Non-Hispanic Whites and Blacks (56/166, 34%), and then by Asian or Pacific Islanders (36/166, 22%). More than half (88/166) of all cases reporting in 2005 identified themselves as White.
