Notes: To protect privacy, table cells are rounded to the nearest ten. The totals may not sum due to rounding. Admissions represent counts of arrival events, not unique individuals. Multiple entries of an individual on the same day are counted as one admission. The majority of short-term admissions from Canada and Mexico are excluded.
