NOTE: These are per year rates for 1992–2013. Observations are at the state, year, sex, and age cohort (55 to 59 or 60 to 64). We weight these means using population estimates for each age group and state from the American Community Survey.

These rates are calculated by dividing the counts by population estimates from the Current Population Survey.
