Race or Ethnicity

 

The ethnic or racial association identified by cases reporting in 2006 is shown in Figure 6. The 2006 distribution was in keeping with the 10 year trend and shows a broad involvement of ethnic groups. In 2006, the largest number of our cases (49/137, 36 percent) identify themselves as being of Asian/Pacific origin, followed closely by Hispanic Whites and Blacks (48/137, 35 percent). The largest proportion of cases (61/137) that identified an ethnic association declared themselves to be Whites in 2006.
