Technical Notes:

Mother's residence birth geographies (state or county) include babies born in Hawaii to mothers who were residents of Hawaii.

N/R: Not reportable. The estimate has been suppressed by the Hawaii State Department of Health because the observed number of events is very small (between 1 and 9) and not appropriate for publication, or it could be used to calculate the number in a cell that has been suppressed.
