Across 5 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 82.4 per 100,000 in 2020 to 68.1 in 2024 (-17.4%). The highest observed value was 105.1 in 2023 and the lowest 68.1 in 2024. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.

On a large county row, county figures aggregate every participating agency inside the county. Participation is voluntary. Per-100,000 rates use a separately matched 2020 U.S. Census county population, never a Table 10 field; unmatched counties stay count-only. A large county line encloses very different communities.
